PART 1
Having a learning disability doesn’t mean you can’t learn,but you’ll need some help and need to work extra hard.If you have a learning disability such as dyslexia or dyscalculia,remember that you are not slow or stupid.
Learning disabilities can be genetic.That means they can be passed down in families through the genes.But kids today have an advantage over their parents.Learning experts now know a lot more about the brain and how learning works,and it’s easier for kids to get the help they need.
Dyslexia is a learning disability that means a kid has a lot of trouble reading and writing.Kids who have trouble with math may have dyscalculia.Other kids may have language disorders,meaning they have trouble understanding language and understanding what they read.
It can be confusing,though.What qualifies as“trouble” enough to be diagnosed as a learning disability?Reading,doing math,and writing letters may be tough for lots of kids at first.But when those troubles don’t fade away and it’s really difficult to make any progress,it’s possible that the kid has a learning disability.
Finding out you have a learning disability can be upsetting.You might feel different from everyone else.But the truth is that learning disabilities are pretty common.And if your learning specialist or psychologist has figured out which one you’re facing,you’re on the right track.Now,you can start getting the help you need to do better in school.
But for this special help to really work,you’ll need to practice the new skills you’re learning.It may take a lot of efforts every day.That can be a challenge,but you can do it.Soon,you’ll enjoy the results of all your hard work—more fun and success at school.

“I make dolls,which is not a heroic profession by any means.But recently I was asked to make a doll for a little girl who is a true superhero,” Jessica wrote.
“A woman contacted me and asked if I would make a bunny doll with one eye for her two-year-old daughter who loves animals and lost her left eye to cancer.The girl had started to notice that she was different and her sweet mama read articles about a doll which looks like a child can be helpful and therapeutic (有益健康).She wanted her daughter to have a doll that looks like her and only has her right eye.Up to now,I don’t think I’ve ever been asked to create something so meaningful.”
Brynn received the special gift on March 25 during her family birthday party.
“She smiled so big and then she would not open the rest of her presents until we got the bunny out of her box and she could show her off to all her cousins and family,” Danielle said.
That evening,Danielle snapped a photo of Brynn in her wonder woman pajamas looking at the bunny doll happily.She recalled her daughter saying,“She matches me!” “My favorite part of this photo is how she is wearing her wonder woman nightgown,” Jessica said.“It perfectly represents the strength and course of this little superhero.”
