Checking spelling </div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 14px;">
It possibly sounds really easy in the digital world we live to spell correctly, but as a dyslexic there are a few things to understand </div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 14px;">
1. You need to know how to start a word in order to spell it (will explain that better another day๐)</div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 14px;">
2. Spell check will not say if the wrong word has been used in the sentence, but it's spelt correctly</div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 14px;">
Just to say Google search it the best way to find out how to spell a word, also if suggests as you type, wish I had that while at school </div>

It's going to be ok, we should really say this more often, because it usually is๐ Once we think or know we have disability (which dyslexia is classed as in the uk) it can seem like you are pigeonholed that is the future is known!!!<br />
