Your Body Is Speaking
The letters are there. Black on white. Clear, still, ordered. Other children see them and transform them into meaning. You see them too — but for you, the transformation does not happen. Or not in the same way. Either you recognise individual letters but no word forms from them. Or you grasp words as shapes, but the letters within them blur. Or you read a sentence and notice at the end that half of it is missing — a skipped block, an overleapt thread, and the sense falls apart.
