ADHD affects one’s ability to stay focused and pay attention. Difficulty controlling behavior and hyperactivity are common symptoms. Research indicates that from 30-50 percent of children with ADHD also have a specific learning disability, and that the two conditions can interact to make learning extremely challenging

Why Dyslexia Makes Reading So Difficult
● Dyslexics use a different part of their brain for reading
● Rather than easily recognizing words and groups of words as non-dyslexics do,
dyslexics need to first identify each letter and then try to group the letters into words and
sentences
● Doing so requires so much focus that it’s hard to remember the word you just formed
Schools Are Not Dyslexic Friendly
● School work is 4 times harder for dyslexics
● The traditional school curriculum is weighted towards reading and writing
● Schools don’t provide tools or support for the extra time dyslexics require
● Teachers are uninformed about dyslexia and not prepared to adequately assist
Consequences
● Dyslexics are often afraid to read aloud in the classroom
● Homework takes more time to complete
● Test questions are more difficult to understand
● Assignments require additional explanation
● Dyslexics have low confidence in school
● Dyslexics think they aren’t smart because learning is more difficult for them
What Let’s Get Booking Does To Help
● We provide a platform where people with dyslexia can sign up to read in a stress free, non critical environment where it’s ok to make mistakes
● Hearing yourself read aloud helps you improve by hearing your errors
● This builds the reader’s confidence and helps decrease their anxiety
Community Benefits
● Readers provide companionship for the elderly and add to a facility’s life enrichment programs
● Animal shelters will likely see an increase in pet adoptions, since reading to animals provides a stress free environment and bonding opportunity
