While growing up i was diagnosed with a ADD( * Attention deficient disorder*) i was not able to read up to the age of 14, This affected me psychological, Academically, socially and emotionally, so after this many years i decide to write a sonnet for kids suffering from dyslexia to identify with them as one of their own who managed to overcome the deficiency with the help of a determined mother and a loving teacher.
Unforunately here in Nigeria, there are a lot of kids who are suffering from dyslexia and don't have the kind of support i had. This affects the morale and grades of the child in school and if not properly managed would consequently add to the number of illiterates in the country ( either stark or semi literates )
Early diagnoses and treatment(* either by the guardian, parent or teacher *) would go a long way in helping the child integrate well into the society and Avoid shame and depression.
Every child matters!!!
