Writing Right: A Story About Dysgraphia
About Writing Right
Writing Right is an illustrated children's book whose main character is Noah, a third grade boy with dysgraphia. Many people have never heard of dysgraphia and that is one of the primary reasons for this book. Dysgraphia affects writing skills and can make learning very difficult. In this book, Noah learns to work through his struggles with dysgraphia through perseverance, help from his mom, computer resources, and occupational therapy. Through Noah's story, I hope to shed some light on this lesser-known disability and aid those affected.

I got this book for my 7 year old who has dysgraphia. I thought he'd like it since the little boy in the story has dysgraphia. It is an easy to read book (at least it was for my 7 year old), so there's that. The illustrations were fantastic, and it was written well.
However, this is geared towards kids that go to a brick and mortar school (public and private). My child is homeschooled and has been homeschooled since kinder. He could not relate to the little boy as this whole story takes place mostly within a classroom at a brick and mortar school. My son quickly became bored with the book and asked if we could stop reading it. I was thinking this book would have talked more about the boy's time at home too. It made me sad that we had finally found a book for kids about dysgraphia, but it left out homeschoolers and only focuses on those who go to brick and mortar schools.
Also, this book talks about the boy going to an occupational therapist which is great if you have the money to afford taking your child to one. Many people simply do not have the money to take their child to an OT, so I felt like this leaves out those of us with less money.
Overall, if your child goes to a brick and mortar school (isn't homeschooled), and you are rich or have a nice sized income, then this book is great. However, if your child is homeschooled, and you don't have/make a lot of money, skip this book because you (and your child) will not like this book. Luckily, I got this book through Kindle Unlimited or else I would have been a bit more angry if I had actually bought it.

This story is very true! It has been frustrating and I have torn up plenty of my papers. My mom was able to get me a Chromebook to use in school and I dictate some of my work and email it to my teacher. My writing has improved but it still hurts when I try to write for more than 15 minutes.

Cassandra did an amazing job capturing the frustration of having dysgraphia. My son read this to me and thought 1) I wrote it 2) It was written about him 3) It was spot on!
