The Dyslexic Diaries
Abstract
It is crucial that students see themselves in literature, even students with variations like dyslexia. With more knowledge and information about dyslexia becoming prevalent, books must reflect the new understanding and the population. The information then has to be delivered in an appropriate and accurate manner as to not cause misunderstandings or misconceptions. This thesis consists of three components: a critique of existing children’s literature about dyslexia, an original piece detailing personal events with dyslexia, and a lesson plan to support teachers using the new book with groups of students. These three aspects work together to generate The Dyslexic Diaries by Skye Malik.
