Narrator: Once, in a town a few counties over and a school similar to yours, there lived a boy
named Michael. Like most boys, Michael liked to play outside, eat hotdogs, and tease his little
sister. When it came to school though, Michael often got very frustrated because he had a
learning disability called dyslexia. Dyslexia made it hard for Michael to recognize words,
comprehend what he was reading, and spell.
Miss Santos: (Administering a spelling test) The word is decline
Michael: (Silently spelling out the word and writing it on test paper) becline
Narrator: When Michael was in class he had extra supplies to help him read.
Miss Santos: Okay class, time for silent reading. Everyone pull out a book. (Quietly to Michael)
Michael, do you have all your materials for reading?
Michael: (While pulling out audio tape, headphones, book, and index card) Yes Miss Santos
Narrator: Michael tried not to feel different from the other kids in his class, but sometimes this
was hard to do, especial because he sat next to Larry Lion, the smartest student in Miss Santoss
class.
Miss Santos: Class, silent reading is finished. Everyone please pull out your reflection journals
and write about what youve read about today.
Larry: (After looking over at Michaels journal) Hahaha! Everyone, look how awful Michaels
handwriting is. A mouse could write better than that. Its not nearly as neat as mine.
Miss Santos: Okay, Okay everyone settle down. All eyes should be on their own paper. It is not a
competition. You all have only 3 minutes left so focus on your own papers.
