This!!!

I love this quote from Dr. Louisa Moats.

It is also what drives me -- and probably also drives many of you.

The question to retain comes up a lot, especially this time of year. Some schools push this idea out to parents and parents, knowing their child is struggling, don’t know what to do. The idea is logical on the surface, but the reality is holding a child back and repeating the same instruction will not change the outcome. The child doesn’t need more of the same, but better, science based instruction. Holding them back only harms their self esteem. Change the curriculum. Embrace SoR.

Thank you to everyone who liked my page today. I am so excited to be offering my services as a tutor and dyslexia advocate. I never thought I would be starting my own business. After watching my daughter struggle in school for years, and then watching her learn to read using a specialized program for dyslexia (thank you Thompson Reading Clinic) I knew that I wanted to help others the same way that we had been helped. I started learning the Barton Reading and Spelling System, I took classes through Dyslexia Training Institute, and I read everything I could find about dyslexia. Eventually I started tutoring students as a side job. I loved working with the kids, watching their confidence grow as they learned to read had me hooked, I soon quit my day job and started tutoring full time. If you know anyone who could use my services, or just has questions about dyslexia please have them give me a call or share my page with them. I am happy to share with others all the things I wish I had known when I started this dyslexia journey with my daughter.
