Dd found computer science and biology much better than expected, but has been in tears after today's English lit. From what shes says there is no way she will pass. She was diagnosed as dyslexic last summer and we knew English is her worst subject but she felt she'd get a low pass.
She had worked hard and learned all her quotes as advised by teacher, but says that she only answered one of the three questions. So max possible is 20 out of 80 marks. I really feel for her, because she has worked hard, and although she is dyslexic she is also very intelligent.
Once an avid reader, she has now lost her love of reading and hasn't read a book for pleasure in over a year. As an avid reader myself that makes me really sad.
I have two hope's for her...that she passes English language so she doesn't have to retake it next year, and to rediscover the joy of reading.
I'll be so glad when all the exams are over.
