In Part 2 of our interview with Lois Letchford, we continue learning about her journey parenting her dyslexic son Nicholas who was told that he was "the worst student ... ever seen" by one of his early teachers, but who went on to earn a Ph.D from Oxford.
Here is a short bio of Lois: Lois Letchford’s dyslexia came to light when she faced teaching her son, Nicholas. Examining her reading failure caused her to adapt and change lessons. The results were dramatic. Lois qualified as a reading specialist using her non-traditional background, multi-continental experience, and passion for assisting other failing students. Lois received teaching degrees in Australia, Texas, and a master’s degree from SUNY, NY.
Reversed: A Memoir is her first book. In this story, she details her dyslexia and the journey of her son’s dramatic failure in first grade. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/36163388-reversed
