Whoever said that learning to read and write is easy?

Sarah is unhappy and she no longer enjoys school. When learning to read and write, she tries to remember which way the letters go but she often gets them all mixed up.
After she discovers that dyslexia is the reason for her trouble, she begins to understand that with extra practice and help from others, whe will begin to read and write correctly.
At the same time, she also discovers a hidden talent she never knew existed!


The "Live and Learn" series take a child's point of view - and especially the view of children who either suffer from some physical challenge or lack self-confidence in going about their everyday activities. These attractively illustrated picture storybooks encourage kids never to be afraid of a challenge. Following each story are four pages of suggested activities that relate to the book's theme. A final two-page section offers advice to parents. This story's little boy plays on a hockey team, and everybody on the team very much wants to win the championship. But when they forget to play fair, a boy on the opposing team is injured. They feel badly about the accident and come to realize that being a good sport is more important than winning.
