About me

  • Mai-Linn Holdt, 16 years old
  • From Oslo, Norway
  • I am in my first year in college, service and communication studies
  • I have dyslexia
  • I found out that I had dyslexia in my third year in grade school
  • When I think about grade school, everything was dark and difficult for me. I don’t remember anything apart from the breaks.

slide 3

About me

In my sixth year I got a private teacher, and I learned to read and write. By that time I was 11 years old

slide 4

Talking books

  • Before I got talking books, my mum and dad used to read to me
  • I am entitled to get talking books because of my dyslexia
  • I was given talking books in the fifth grade, but not in every subject
  • I used talking books when I did my homework, but I don’t remember much about it
  • In my first high school year things changed for the better. More opportunities came along, and people started to expect more from me.

slide 5

Talking books

  • I was given talking books, but they were Daisy copies.
    -They did not work properly
  • The same thing happened the next year.
  • Then my parents started a proscess, to make sure that I got proper Daisy books
  • I did not feel like using them, because I had lost my self-esteem
  • In the end I was forced to make use of the talking books, and as time went by I started to use them because I wanted to

slide 6 <p1> Today

  • You probably remember that I didn’t like using the daisy books at first, but that I enjoy it now
  • I depend on the daisy books
  • If it wasn’t for the daisy books, I wouldn’t have as high grades as I do, in any subject
  • I worry that I won’t get daisy talking books when I start higher education slide 7 <p1> How I use the Daisy talking books

    • PC with Amis reading programme
    • Possibly with earplugs
    • I keep the paper copy of the book in front of me while listening to Daisy
    • The sound quality on the film is poor, but it’s not like that in real life
    slide 8 <p1> Self- confidence
    • It is easy to loose your self-confidence when you don’t get what you are entitled to, like PC, extra tuition, talking books etc.
    • I have good friends who respect me and my dyslexia
    • I have also done different sports, something which has made me gain more self-confidence
    slide 9 <p1> The talking books have given me more self-confidence, and have helped me to achieve grades that are good enough
