Followed from PotterSues My little sister is very dyslexic. She also has some other medical problems, so my parents had to homeschool her. Danielle learned how to read with major difficulty, from using Hooked-On-Phonics. She knew how to read, but hated it because it was frustrating for her. And then stepped in Harry Potter, with his magic wand and broomstick. Suddenly, Danielle WANTED to read. Every night. All the books. Soon she was reading them by herself with no one to help her. And when all of them were finished, she said "I want to read more." She read 'The Hobbit', and 'Bullfinch's Mythology'. She reads voraciously now, with comprehension and enjoyment, and on a level 4 grades above what she's supposed to. It's amazing. And none of it would have been accomplished without Harry Potter. My parents are eternally grateful to J.K. Rowling.
