    Fred struggled with reading aloud in middle school due to dyslexia, a learning disability that affects one's ability to understand words. His mother noticed his trouble and got him books to read at home. When this did not help, they saw a professional who diagnosed Fred with dyslexia after many tests. His mother then spent a lot of time helping Fred with reading, and they struggled through loads of books until Fred gained confidence in reading words in class. Fred credits his mother for helping him overcome dyslexia to be able to take college classes.
