In grade school I could not learn the abc's, I found I could slur over the middle ones I didn't know and get away with it. I could never memorize. Did make it through college and grad school with all the reading but it was a real chore. Almost flunked out of electronics school due to not understanding all the tech stuff it took me hours to read when others did it in a brief time.
I never read for enjoyment. A page or two into a book was enough for me. In High School reading was a terrible chore. I would read a paragraph, then read it again, then at times again before I could figure out what it meant.
In my 60's I took a test online to see if I was dyslexic. Something like 80 questions and I hit just about everyone of them. It opened up a whole story line for me, no wonder I did not like to read :-) Might relate to thinking myself rather dumb. I had, about the same time been watching a credit union being built. The sign said it would be Uintus Credit union. For days I wondered where they got a name like that. One day I was looking at the sign and I spelled it out to myself slowly U-N-I-T-U-S Credit Union. What a revelation
I love electronics and I ran across the first kindle. I wanted one even though I probably wouldn't use it. Ordered one and when it came I sat down and started reading and loved it. Have been reading since.
I find on tablets I get along fine in the sepia color Kindle provides.
I suspect all the forced reading helped train my brain into more normal habits when reading but the electronic readers have been a real help to me.
