Brilliant. Simply brilliant.

Oh, I think I need to sit down!

Did you hear what Miss Thatcher said, Ma?! She said I'm smart.

The first step in helping Bo was to give him an intelligence test. He scored extremely high.

I can't wait for Pa to get home so I can tell him.

But I'm confused. How could he take a test if he can't read?

I read Bo the questions, and he remembered all of them. I think Bo has a condition called word blindness. A fancy name for it is dyslexia....I think, with the right tools and methods, Bo will be able to learn to read.
