Description
Description
Molly learns to accept her learning disability with the help of a new friend. A new student joins their classroom, and Molly and Lexi (an imaginary character who represents being dyslexic) are excited to meet her. When Leeann introduces her dyslexia named Izzy, Molly's own dyslexia wants to be introduced, too. But Molly isn't ready--without Lexi, Molly wouldn't feel like herself. Lexi asks and asks until she's impossible to ignore. With Leann and Izzy's help, Molly shows Lexi to the class. Everyday Adventures with Molly and Dyslexia
Molly and Lexi empower dyslexic children to embrace their strengths. Written by a dyslexic author who's an advocate for dyslexic kids, this three-book series follows the adventures of a young girl, Molly, and her personified dyslexia, Lexi. Together, they navigate the challenges of dyslexia with creativity and determination, touching on themes of self-advocacy, self-esteem, and personal strengths.
