To actually slow down just I don’t ride my own bike but I do ride my own biker shirt to find out what might be going on. We talked to her on a daily basis about how she struggled to grasp what she was reading. Her first-grade teacher took that time. She saw what we did. How Kacie was giving 110% and still struggled. We talked and decided to have her tested for dyslexia. Every day I thank Mrs. Patzke for being my daughter’s cheerleader, the one who took the time to truly see her and help. My daughter stayed in first grade 2 years to help her catch up. She is a 5th grader now and is doing awesome!!! She has overcome so many obstacles. Myself, my husband and a few others help her by not giving up on her. We fight alongside her every day.
