Synopsis

There are the rules of clocks that turn clockwise at every hour. The rules of the days of the week. Of the left and the right. The north, the south, the east and the west. Words in a text and their meaning. There is b, d, p, q, each with its own orientation. When you read, you have to read the words that make up one line, then go to the line and read the other line. On a page there are many lines, none of them should be left out. Then there is the blackboard to copy, quickly, because the teacher then erases and writes an entire ocean. Time passes and I am still writing the first word.

This is a morning like any other that will lie ahead in the future of a dyslexic child. It would have been enough to understand that his way of learning is different from other children and to give him more time not to make him hate school.
