        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Maya Hawke had a rough go in school as a child.</p><p><strong>During a recent interview with NPR</strong>, the 22-year-old &#8220;Stranger Things&#8221; star &#8212; also the daughter of Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman &#8212; delved into her experience with dyslexia.</p><p>While it was &#8220;deeply difficult&#8221; to live with the learning disorder, Hawke also finds it to be &#8220;one of the great blessings of [her] life in a lot of ways.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;But I did get, like, kicked out of school for not being able to read when I was a kid,&#8221; the &#8220;By Myself&#8221; singer confessed. &#8220;And I went to a special school for kids with learning disabilities.&#8221;</p><p>She added: &#8220;And it took me a long time to learn how to read, and I still am limited.&#8221;</p><p>These days, however, there are &#8220;so many options&#8221; out there that have helped her to put her dyslexia to good use.</p><p>&#8220;There&#8217;s something about having had a limitation in regards to my ability to produce and take in stories that made me even more determined to love them and understand them and grow in them,&#8221; said Hawke.</p><p>The star said she faced &#8220;bullying&#8221; when her classmates would find out about her struggles to read, but explained that her famous &#8220;parents did a wonderful job of encouraging [her] to be creative.&#8221;</p><p>The star has been keeping busy in quarantine by tapping into that creativity and making music with her family.</p><p>Back in March, Hawke shared a video of herself singing with sisters Clementine and Indiana, as well as her father. They were all accompanied by her brother Levon.</p><p>The family <strong>performed &#8220;To Live Is to Fly&#8221;</strong> by folk musician Townes Van Zandt.</p>]]></content:encoded>
