“Dr. Silbert, maybe you can tell me what’s wrong with Suzy. Does she have dyslexia or some other learning disability? She reads the word ‘ride’ over and over again on page one. Then she turns the page and can’t remember how to read the word ‘ride.’ She acts as if she never saw it before. She also leaves words out and puts words in. I can’t help it, but I end up yelling at her and she ends up crying. Something is wrong!”
