My son is a diagnosed dysgraphic. I've blogged about it before: (Diagnosis: Dysgraphia). He struggles even with the basic concepts of reading. He gets so very frustrated at the words on the page, because they are absorbed by his eyes, translated in his head, and often come out garbled.
But he loves books.
He's lucky for the early dysgraphia diagnosis. Unlike some dyslexics, he can and will be able to read at some point, with practice. And with some accommodation and hard work, decoding words becomes less of a chore every day.
