In this enlightening video, a group of grade school students perform a story from the perspective of a dyslexic child. Using music, visuals, and monologues, they showcase the normal, but problematic misunderstandings and emotional responses that happen between dyslexics and non-dyslexics. The performance displays a single child’s world while in the classroom, showing us what he sees in his book while we see what he is missing.

As the boy's sincere attempts turn into inevitable failure, social isolation and disdain soon follow. But the performance uses this to illustrate what dyslexics must live with, as it compares different behaviors with insights into the mechanics of the condition. This creative approach to the subject makes it clear that dyslexics are insightful and have a fantastic imagination.
