Anyone can learn to read. Stories of proof from twenty years literacy tutoring dyslexic students.
Rescuing Students with Dyslexia: Stories of Struggle, Hope and the Promise of Reading. A memoir. Based on Cathrine’s Lindamood Bell training after a disastrous year teaching middle school English in a class with many nonreaders and twenty years applying and adapting her training with students with dyslexia of all ages. Includes an appendix of her best strategies for working with very discouraged struggling readers, those with a severe lack of phonemic awareness and those with ADHD, autism and other reading issues. About the book:
She found the students everyone else had given up on.
A seventy-year-old maintenance worker who'd hidden his secret for decades. A prison inmate. An 11-year-old who had crossed the border speaking no English. A future poet laureate who couldn't read or write.
For twenty years, Cathrine Corbett has taken the students the system wrote off—kids and adults with dyslexia and other reading issues—and taught them to read. Not eventually. Not someday. Now
Rescuing Students with Dyslexia is part memoir, part case study, part quiet manifesto: proof, story after story, that it is never too late and no one is unteachable.
