Newsletter 83: The Dyslexic Duo Special Edition

Hey there, Dyslexic AI family! It's Matt "Coach IV" Ivey here. Today's newsletter, number 83 if you're counting, is super special. We've got a cool segment called "The Dyslexic Duo." It's all about a chat between me, the dyslexic dad, and my awesome daughter, Makena, the dyslexic daughter. Together, with a little help from our AI friend, we'll chat about Makena's school stuff and how she uses cool tech to help her out. So, grab your coffee (or juice box!) and let's get started!

Hey, It's Makena!

Hi everyone! It's me, Makena Ivey.

So, guess what? Today's a super special day because I get to team up with my dad and be a part of this awesome newsletter. How cool is that? I'm super excited to chat with all of you and share a little bit about my world.

You know, school can be a mix of fun, challenging, and sometimes, a tiny bit confusing. But guess what makes it way cooler? Using some techy tools that help me out. I've got some stories to share about how I use technology at school and trust me; it's not just for homework. It's for fun projects, games, and even planning out my future business ideas (yep, I've got big dreams!).

My brother, Kailer, and I have this shared secret: we both love learning, especially when it feels like playtime. And that's what these tech tools do. They turn the tricky stuff into fun challenges. It's like turning a boring old vegetable into a yummy snack with a sprinkle of magic.

So, are you ready to dive into my tech-filled world? Let's go! (That is my brothers favorite saying and boy does he say it ALL THE TIME)

My Super Tutor, Sher

Hey, guess what? Twice a week, I get to hang out with the coolest tutor ever, Sher Marshall. She pops into my school on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and it's like having a mini party in the middle of school. Sher's not just any tutor; she's like a reading and spelling wizard!

Whenever I'm stuck on a word or can't figure out how to spell something, Sher's there with her magic tricks to help me out. And it's not just me; my brother, Kailer, thinks she's awesome too. We both get to learn from her, and trust me, she makes every lesson feel like an adventure.

But here's the best part: Sher has these super fun computer games. It's not just boring old lessons. Nope! We get to play and learn at the same time. It's like having dessert before dinner, but in school. How cool is that?

ChatGBT: The Coolest Computer Pal Ever!

Alright, let me tell you about my new tech buddy, ChatGBT. Imagine having a computer friend who's always ready to help you with writing. That's ChatGBT for me! It's like having a chat with a robot who's super smart and knows just what to say.

One time, I had this idea of starting a business. Not just any business, but one where I get to take care of horses and do some babysitting. I'm super into horses, especially the ones over at Crossroads Ranch. They're so majestic and beautiful! With ChatGBT, I planned out how I could become a horse caretaker and even help around the ranch. It felt so professional!

And here's a fun fact: It's not just me who's into ChatGBT. My mom and dad use it all the time for their grown-up work stuff. I've seen them typing away and getting help from this tech buddy. It's like having a sprinkle of magic on the computer!

Storied App: My Voice, My Stories!

You know how sometimes you have this super cool idea in your head, but when you try to write it down, it just doesn't come out right? That used to be me! But then, I discovered the Storied app with my dad, and it's like magic!

Here's the coolest part: I don't even have to type! I just talk into the app, and it listens to me, turning my voice into words on the screen. It's like having a friend who writes down everything you say. So, if I'm feeling super creative or just want to share a fun story, I just chat away, and Storied does the writing for me.

But wait, there's more! Sometimes, I might get stuck or not know what to talk about next. That's when Storied asks me these awesome questions. They're like little prompts that help me think deeper and share even cooler stuff.

And the best part? The writing it creates is super clear and just how I want it. It's like the app knows exactly what I'm trying to say. It's my go-to whenever I want to be the creative storyteller of the family!

So, next time you see me sharing a fun story or idea, you can bet I had a little help from my buddy, Storied!

Closing Remarks

What's Next? Adventures with My Tech Toys!

Hey, guess what? I'm super excited about all the adventures waiting for me with ChatGBT and the Be Storied app. They're not just regular apps; they're like my tech toys! Every time I use them, it feels like I'm diving into a new game or exploring a magical world. But here's the secret: while I'm having all this fun, I'm also learning so much!

Imagine having toys that help you write better stories, plan cool projects, or even start your own business. That's what these apps are for me. And the best part? Every day is a new adventure. One day, I might be planning a horse caretaker business, and the next, I could be writing a mystery story with twists and turns.

So, stay tuned, because with these tech toys by my side, there's no telling what fun and creative things I'll come up with next. Let the adventures begin!

A Quick Note from Dad (Matt)

Before we wrap up, I just want to say how proud I am of Makena. She's a superstar! It's so cool to see her talk about her learning adventures. As we head into the weekend, let's all take a moment to celebrate the fun stuff we did this week. And hey, don't forget to enjoy your coffee or maybe a hot cocoa. Cheers to more fun days ahead!
