One big word was stalking me - overwhelm.

A

A Walk in the Words

It described the feeling of too many words coming at me at the same time.

But I loved stories too much to quit.

A

I was good at picturing stuff.

Maybe I could try picturing a way out.

A

A Walk in the Words

I grabbed overwhelm and broke off over so it just said whelm.

A

A Walk in the Words

It meant the same thing but was more my size.

A

A Walk in the Words

Q

I’d just read at my own pace.

A

43
Q

I took time to look for words that I knew.

A

A Walk in the Words

44
Q

There they were!

A

A Walk in the Words

45
Q

Like stepping-stones leading me onward.

A

A Walk in the Words

46

I jumped over words I didn’t know, and let the words I knew lead me into the story.

A

A Walk in the Words

Curiosity won.

A

A Walk in the Words

Books weren’t so scary, once I got to know them.

A

A Walk in the Words

Q

And now that I was beginning to like words, why rush past them?

A

A Walk in the Words

54
Q

Read at your own speed.

A

A Walk in the Words

55
Q

I realized that just because I was slow at reading didn’t mean that I had to fear it.

A

A Walk in the Words

56

I also learned that many great people were slow readers.

A

A Walk in the Words

I honored them all in my Slow Readers Hall of Fame

A

And I tore down that terrible…Wall of Shame

A

Slow readers savor the story!

A

I experimented with ways to tell my stories.

A

A Walk in the Words

I could still tell a story with pictures.

A

Or I could tell it with words.

The monster cornered me.

A

My gun jammed!

A

The monster attacked the space station!

I remembered how my horses got better the more I drew them.

A

A Walk in the Words

71
Q

My writing would improve too, if I wrote every day.

A

A Walk in the Words

72
Q

A drawing could show what a horse looked like.

A

A Walk in the Words

73
Q

But with words, I could bring them to life.

A

A Walk in the Words

74
Q

Now they could breathe and snort and carry me on adventures.

A

A Walk in the Words

75
Q

I read every day, in search of new words for my stories.

A

A Walk in the Words

76
Q

It was like finding new colors for my art, but now I was learning to paint with words.

A

A Walk in the Words

77

There were still times when I felt lost in a sea of words.

A

A Walk in the Words

78
Q

My drawing pad was still my safe place.

A

A Walk in the Words

Others found music, sports, math and science.

A

A Walk in the Words

Words had always scared me.

A

A Walk in the Words

81
Q

But once I felt free to read at my own speed, they became my friends.

A

A Walk in the Words

82
Q

I could unlock the magic of stories and even become a storyteller myself, turning that sea of words into an ocean of possibilities.

A

A Walk in the Words

83

Now all I have to do is enjoy the ride!
