Dyslexia-

Dyslexia-  
Phonemic Awareness 
Historical Perspective 

I thought I would do a few posts that are a bit more personal just so you all can get to know a little more yu! So What is Dyslexia? This has been always a personal one for me and it is also a hard one to Explain too. heheeh. It was even more difficult to explain why the children of that time would have difficultly reading, not being able to explain why they couldn't do the math,English, writing assignments, language, reading competition and even memorize problems...
But when I was a kid of the late 60's and 70's which I'm now aging myself
about me! You all have been so kind to me to follow my blog so I though I would write a few of my experiences for
It was always explained as low intelligence, poor eye sight, poor hearing , inadequates education, behavioral problems in school, laziness, bad home life, the list is long!
I know, I've heard it all! It wasn't till I was 28years old that I was finally tested at a learning center that I learned what was going on all those years as a child. And finding out that I had Dyslexia what it meant too!
At the time it was 1988 when I found out that I had Dyslexia at the learning center when they tested me. And it was when I had been excepted to an 4year college Humboldt State College. I had choose that college because of my brother and sister/law who told me that they had a great learning center that would be great for me. Anyway once i was tested the folks were very surprised that I had a B+ average  and that I had graduated from a community college and high school all with a B+ average and wondered how did I do it? I told them if it wasn't for my mother, father, sister,brother and best friend of over 35years/sister/in/law, who got me help me thru all my schooling I wouldn't have made it here at the University of Humboldt.
I think I put them all in AWE! from that... Family does help you get thru the hardest these in life and I never knew that I would have to count on them again in 2005 but that's another story which you all know on my profile. Anyway. I couldn't have gotten my BA Art Degree in Photography/Ceramics without the learning center that the University of Humboldt has on campus. It may have took me 4years but i did it. I pray from this post that more folks that have dyslexia will rally that more University , community colleges and even high schools and grade schools have learning centers to help kids like me and so many out there so they don't have to find out till they are 28years old and go thru what I did.

Dyslexia- Simply definition: It is an inherited condition that makes it extremely difficult to read, write and spell alot of confidence in themselves [like myself it took many years to get where I am today!but your can over-come Yes you can . Because now I writing a book and I'm a blogger who would of guessed that!]

although you are very intelligent it just doesn't show. Which sometime can be even worst I know this on a personal level.. that is why most kids who have this are very shy and don't have

Dyslexia- Is a neurologically, based often familial, disorder which interferes with the acquisition and processing of language . Varying in degrees of severity, it is manifested by difficulties in receptive and expressive language. Including phonological processing in reading, writing, spelling and handing writing and math problems too.

Dyslexia - is not the result of lack of motivation although dyslexia is a lifelong condition. individuals with dyslexia generally find ways of dealing with it.

Cause: Dyslexia is an inherited condition, that the gene is dominate makes dyslexia highly heritable. It  definitely runs in the families that why you need great family support.

Well, now that you know a little bit more about me! I hope that it helps you understand me more too.
I also hope you find it to be interesting too.
Love you all! My dear Friends and Followers!

How You've Grown!

How You've Grown-
As I look at these photo, its amazing how big you

August-2004

have gotten in my arms. How much longer will I be able
to lift you, hold you. I wish big things for you, but take 
your time, take your time. Enjoy your childhood, it 
hoes by so fast to fast!
All my pictures I have, will be frozen forever  in my mind.
Just like grains of sand in a sand bottle years go by so fast.
One day those little hands will be bigger than mine!
Those tugs on my legs, making chocolate chip cookies and
watching movies with chocolate milk will just be a memory. 
Your fancy moves, singing and dancing, you always enjoyed 
showing your father and I. Cuddling and your favorite story-time
will pass in time. Your smile, giggles, laughter will always be in
my heart and your love for Balloons!
I will treasure those days when you were a little boy,but I look
forward to see what you'll become as a teenager to a young Man!
I pray for big things for you whatever you choose.
I will always be proud and always be there when you need an 
ear to just listen...
I pray I will see you grow into that wonderful young man
that you will Be!
Your Mom 2004

Tiger! Tiger! [Poem]

Tiger! Tiger! burning bright,
in the forests of the night.
what immortal hand or eye
could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies
burnt the fire of thine eyes?
on what wings dare he aspire?
what the hand dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder, I what art, 

could twist the sinews of thy heart?

and when thy heart began to beat,

what dread hand? I what dead feet?

What the hammer? what the chain?

in what for furnace was they brain?

what the anvil? what dread grasp,

dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears,

and water'd heaven with their tears,

did he smile his work to see?

did he who made the lamb make thee?

Tiger! Tiger! burning bright,

into the forest of the night.

what immortal hand or eye

could frame thy fearful symmetry? 

by william blacke

Supernatural Scotland-The Selkirk's Bride-

Supernatural Scotland-The Selkirk's Bride-
There are many different Scottish legends & stories about 
the selkie, but the most common ones are usually the tragic one's. 
These are over theft, love and loss and among other things! The

truth is there is no romantic stories when it comes to the selkie/human at least in Scotland. These Selkies hunt the same fish, with their big eyes and round heads looking almost human in the ocean waters of the coasts of Scotland's icy waters. When they would sing, on the edge of the coastline, you'd be sure that you could understand the words if only you listened hard enough, but alas you never would quite get the words as they would disappear into the crashing waves at sunset.
There is a widespread belief that seals can become human, perhaps only at certain times of the year-
Some say it's may be the spring tide, midsummer and the full moon. This could because it is when they come down from the icy water of the north to celebrate the coming spring and full moon! And these are Magick nights! This is when they feel safe to shed their sealskin's to sing and dance on the shores of Scotland. Of course, how in their human form, they are the most beautiful naked women in the land or that a human Scotsman has ever seen!
There is a tragic story if you would like to hear!
Of an young Scotsman who lived in a small village close by the sea, who dared to see the silkies dance!
Here is how it goes! As the young Scott came down upon the beach, he say the many beautiful women dancing naked on the beach, pale skin visible in moments of moonlight and they also played the most memorizing music he had ever heard. One of the young selkies was so beautiful that his heart was lost in her beauty...
So the young man decided to do the unthinkable, he crawled slower than the tide on his hands and knees to the pile of sealskin's at the edge of their party and he hunted for the softest,smallest most perfect skin. Then he said,'This must be Hers!' he rolled it up, shoved it under his jacked and crawled away to his house overlooking the shore of the ocean. 
When the party was finished, all the songs were sung, all the dances were danced and the morning light was threatening to come in from the east, all the selkies rushed over to the pile of skins.
Everyone found their own skins and started to pull them on like capes, swirling round and engulfing their human bodies. One by one the all became seals again and slipped into the freezing ocean. All but one.

The youngest of the group, stood there naked and shivering, with no seal skin to put on. She was very sad to see her friend swim away as the sun came in for the day. nowhere to hide either. 
So when the young fisherman appeared in the dawn light with a blanket and a hot drink for her, she was impressed. Also the fact that he had said that he had search for her sealskin, all along the beach even under every rock, but never found it. So she had to be content to live in his house by the sea. To hear,smell and watch the waves, but never swim in the great ocean again as a selkie. 
This also meant she could never become a seal again without her sealskin, so the feelings of sadness of never being with her seal family, her brothers and sisters and children again was heart-aching for the selkie. 
So when the fisherman asked selkie to live with him forever and to be his wife, his love for her was so apparent. And Her home at sea! and her children, family was so impossible to reach, she decided to conceded to marry him. 
She was as happy as one could be, at least she was close to the ocean, loved by her man and had a lovely human family. She did all this with tears in her big brown eyes every day.
Yet, every full moon and spring tide, her seal family would swim up, to the crest of the waves and would sing to her on the beach. This would happen every year and this is what make the dear selkie be able to live day in and out as a human wife and mother to his children.  
But on one Sunday, while her husband and the children were at Church, a place she had never felt entirely comfortable/ so she never went. She was spring cleaning at their home. Every shelf dusted, every flagstone gleaming, she clambered up a ladder to deal with the cobwebs among the roof beams too. As she poked around the roof beams and prodded the duster into a darken corner, a dry old bundle fell down on her head.
It was her sealskin! Bound up with a string! Hidden, binding here forever. Which meant the young fisherman had lied to her all these years!
She quickly cut the knots and let the skin unroll. It still smelt of the sweet smell of salt.
She thought of her human children at church for a moment. She thought of the sea, and the fish and the currents and the songs. Then she thought of her seal children under the waves. And she thought of her husband, pretending to search for a sealskin that he had hidden himself above her head!
When her family returned from church, she was gone! The fisherman saw the old string cut into bits on the floor and he knew where she had gone!
Now the fisherman's children go down to the shore every evening, and hear the sad song of the seal floating in the bay. Crying because she left her human children on the shore, to be with her children of the sea. 
As you see there is no happy endings to the Selkirks stories either way there is sadness, and lost of children.. 
I hope you Enjoyed this Tale.
I have loved the stories and legends of the Selkirks and I hope you all my dear Friends and Followers Enjoyed this one too!

Your Wendy..
