A poem about his battle with dyslexia led a Klein ISD third grader to win a national poetry contest.

“Dyslexia is like a blueprint that I have to finish. It’s like a disease that never goes away. When I miss a word it feels like a tower that I have to destroy. Reading out loud is hard. It’s like being stuck in traffic on a huge highway with angry old men honking at me. When I draw, I forget about towers and honking horns. I am in my own world of Paper Craft People and me,” wrote nine-year-old Peyton Bolden.

Peyton always knew he was smart, just in a different way than his peers. When he was in first grade, Susan Collier, reading specialist at Mittelstädt Elementary, also took notice. Peyton was extremely shy, had speech problems, and was having a harder time with comprehension and learning in the classroom. Having seen it all before, Collier soon diagnosed Peyton with dyslexia during his second grade year.
