史詩文學
史詩是一種莊嚴的文學裁縫，內容為民間傳說或讚頌英雄功績的長篇敘事詩，它涉及的主題可以包括歷史與傳說、民族與文化、宗教信仰或哲學思辯。對於事物情節認知有更深入的探討，看待不同層面的關聯和互動，能更充分的理解與包容。

閱讀障礙又稱作「失讀症」(reading disorder)，根據研究顯示，閱讀障礙與學習障礙相關， 且先天性閱讀障礙起源於腦神經基因失調、染色體異常等問題。 因此，閱讀障礙與智力的高低並無關聯。事實上，有這個症狀的孩子比想像的多，且他們可能非常聰明但無法準確表達自己的想法。
1.「讀寫」障礙(dyslexia)：又稱「失讀症」，有此症狀的患者在「理解」事物方面沒有問題，但他們無法快速朗讀、連續書寫、無法用完整的字句準確表達自己的想法。
2.「理解」障礙(hyperlexia)：與「讀寫障礙」相反，有此症狀的患者能識別簡單詞彙，但無法有效理解長篇文章。此外，有理解障礙的人較難察覺他人的情緒變換與肢體語言。
學校的國文課在三年級的這個階段文字量開始大幅提升，孩子們從「學著去閱讀」變成「藉由閱讀來學習」，這個巨大的轉變使得閱讀障礙的孩子們在學習與生活方面產生了許多困難。
