My teacher often wrote on the top of my exercise book "THINK" in big red letters.Miss Hancock was my best teacher but even she wrote in my book 'You haven't understood the question'.On one of my holiday visits with Roger he had a tape recorder which we all had to speak into while reading from the newspaper.I suddenly reaslized that my turn was about to come.I became almost paralyzed with fear. Should I say that I can't read or should I try to remember what the others had read before me?Reading and spelling weren't the only difficulties I had.Mental arithmetic was a huge problem for me. The numbers kept moving around in my mind.
