Finally the first group of learners with dyslexia have done their exam.
They were given extra time and the environment was very friendly. The supervisor, invigilator and the police were aware of children's condition so they were very friendly.
I have our Lord to thank for this far.

“I have learned to live with it and make the best of it. I read all the time. When I was diagnosed with dyslexia, I was told to read everything from street signs to cereal boxes, and that my mom shouldn’t read the menu for me. I should read it to her! It has helped a great deal. I am reading well, but it is something I work on every day.”

Kindly find directions: Opposite Niavas Supermarket Kitengela, Baraka roaad, Behind P.C.E.a church.

Testing and screening for dyslexia are available and are very important. Without proper diagnosis and instruction, dyslexia can lead to frustration, school failure, and low self-esteem.

An assessment for dyslexia includes reading or writing while the tester looks for signs of dyslexia, such as adding, dropping, or changing words; pulling words from other lines; or reversing or transposing words and letters. While not diagnostic in itself, body language may provide a clue: A person with dyslexia may frequently clear his or her throat, tap a pencil, or fidget during the testing out of anxiety about performing on the test.

Dyslexia cannot be prevented or cured, but it can be managed with special instruction and support. Early intervention to address reading problems is important. Parents must understand that children with dyslexia can learn, but probably need to learn in different ways than children without the condition. Teaching should be individualized and may involve modeling letters and words in clay or other three-dimensional techniques to help the child learn letters and words.

Kikuyu. This name and tribe comes with many things. Some good. Others not so good. I was born a Kikuyu.

Sometimes, I don’t know whether to celebrate or hide my ethnicity. I have been to meetings where one of the warnings whispered, in jest, is, “Watch your bags, we have Kikuyus amongst us”.

In international meetings, the warning is, “Watch your bags and passports, we have Kenyans and Nigerians in the building”.
