Do you know anyone with dyslexia? Would you know how to recognize the signs of dyslexia? Just before Spring Break, current Upper School and Lower School students got a glimpse into their futures from the 2025 Alumni Panel. Recent Graduates of The Legacy School’s Class of 2020 and Class of 2021 returned last month for the 4th Annual Alumni Panel to share their Dyslexia Stories of knowing when they had dyslexia:
- I got tested in 2nd grade. My parents were told about my diagnosis and the next year I was at Legacy.
- In 2nd grade, I realized I needed a lot of extra help with words. I was in pull out classes. So I got tested. My parents thought I might have dyslexia, but when I got to Legacy Ms. Jamie said “it definitely was dyslexia.”
- I used to play baseball when I was about 5 and my hand eye coordination was always off, which was an early sign. I didn’t know my left from my right hand.
- I was in 3rd grade and nothing really made sense to me. I was put in all the specialty reading classes and I didn’t fit in. There was something off about me. Turns out I was right. I found Legacy and started to fit in.
- I actually don’t have dyslexia, but I have ADHD. I knew I had something when I was falling behind in classes and had trouble paying attention.
