Anna D'Orazio remembers when her struggle with reading began.

She was in the first grade at a public school in Baltimore and friends with a group of kids who already had the skill locked down. One day they brought booklets with short stories to school to read together while sitting under trees on the playground.

When Anna opened her book she did not know what she was seeing. She couldn't recognize any of the words, except for the letter "a."

"I pretended I could read so I could fit in," she said. "But I really couldn't."
