In this episode, we talked to Krista Weltner, author of Everyday Adventures with Molly and Dyslexia, a three book children’s book series about dyslexia. During our conversation, we discuss Krista’s decision to represent dyslexia through the personified character of Lexi. The series overall aims to empower children with dyslexia by showcasing their strengths and positive aspects of having dyslexia. Each book centers on a different topic, including asking for help, self-advocacy, and self-confidence. Krista’s series shows that dyslexia can appear differently in individuals, and these unique strengths and attributes are highlighted through the supporting characters across the books. Finally, we dive into how Everyday Adventures with Molly and Dyslexia can be a valuable tool for both children with dyslexia and educators. It allows the children to see themselves represented in the texts they read and gain confidence, while educators can use this as a teaching tool and way to help their students feel seen and empowered in the classroom.
