Dyslexic Brian’s Exercise 3 (Step One)
Step one: Make a list of all the things about your dyslexia that you feel negative about (and/or wish to overcome)
Make a list of all the things that you are feeling negative about towards your dyslexia; a few words will do. Don’t worry too much at this stage where you start from as you will prioritise them in the next step of this process. For now simply list all the things that are making you feel negative about your dyslexia. Write down anything that comes into your head!
You don’t have to show this list to anyone so don’t worry about the things you list being silly or trivial. Keep adding to the list until you have run out of anything else to include. (You might prefer to make a list on audio tape or to draw a series of pictures).
Here’s an example of a list created by Antonio several years ago:
Being dyslexic
Writing letters
Memory problems
Filling in forms
Reading out loud
Going blank
Poor spellings
