A poem about dyslexia written by a 10-year-old student has gone viral, inspiring millions with its imaginative construction and powerful message.

Teacher Jane Broadis, who teaches sixth grade at Christ Church Chorleywood Church of England School in Watford, was so moved by her student’s creative effort that she shared the poem on Twitter. It’s no ordinary poem but a “reverse poem,” which reads both forwards and backwards, with a surprising message.
