So, the day I met a lovely woman at a pizza restaurant and found out she had a son with dyslexia, I began asking her questions. I confess I was ignorant about dyslexia, and she gave me so much information. When I got home and started researching dyslexia, I was blown away. Many of the signs and symptoms of dyslexia fit my daughter. My "dyslexia angel" had directed me to the Susan Barton website, and I stayed up a good portion of the night watching her videos and taking notes about my daughter. The next day I spoke with three friends and relatives (all teachers), who agreed with my observations. I knew my daughter needed a new plan of action, and I felt like the Lord had placed this information before me as a gift.
We are now using the new curriculum geared toward dyslexic children. Miss M has very much enjoyed the program and has finished the first level. She has been motivated, focused, and positive about our work. It is like a breath of fresh air. I can't wait to continue the curriculum with her.
