I MADE A MISTAKE
but that Doesn't Make Me Bad.
by Michelle Porter
My daughter struggled learning to read because of dyslexia. I was homeschooling her at the time and realized we couldn’t move forward with language arts until she could learn to read on a basic level. It took a year of going back to the basics, hard work, and being blessed to help her read proficiently. Struggle can turn into opportunity if we let it. It was because of this experience that inspired me to create books that help the learning-to-read process easier for others. Here are my first three books written in Dyslexie Font:
