A first book for kids with reading disabilities

This short, simply written, true, first-person book tells how an ordinary boy growing up in Pennsylvania in the 1950s overcame a reading disability and went on to a successful life. It's meant to be read by boys (especially, but also girls), around ages 9 up I'd say, who struggle to read. It's a story of everyday life that discouraged students can identify with and feel encouraged by, knowing that other kids have overcome the problem. For many readers, it's likely to be the first entire book they ever read and enjoy reading! Take Me With You When You Go
