Do You Worry About How Your Child Will Survive School? Or Life?

Never Ever Give Up Hope

Are you feeling panicked about your child's future?

How will your child survive school with low literacy?

Do you question: How will they survive school? Or life?

Lois Letchford has stood in your shoes. Her young son, Nicholas, failed first grade. The prognosis was dire. Replacing the despair, Lois took on his teaching to find her son was not 'slow' Nicholas went from 'failing' first grade to a P.H.D. from Oxford.

Lois Letchford's dyslexia came to light at the age of 39 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.

The label provided for her son was not accurate or applicable. Lois chose to change that.

Her story will inspire you and encourage anyone concerned about their child's education.

In 1995, the school diagnostician called a seven-year-old “the worst child seen in 20 years of teaching.” Can a child’s fate be sealed by such a diagnosis? Well, in 2018, that boy received a Ph.D. from Oxford University.

Do you have a child struggling with reading? What labels has your child been given? How do you feel they will progress through school? This is a story for you.

Every parent has high hopes for their children. When Lois Letchford learns her son has been diagnosed with a low IQ at the end of grade one, she refuses to give up on his future. After thorough testing, Nicholas proves to have no spatial awareness, limited concentration, and can only read ten words.

Although discouraged, Lois knows things have to improve. After all, her son is young, and every child learns at their own pace. But once Nicholas is labeled "learning disabled," a designation considered more derogatory than "dyslexia," the world of education is quick to cast him aside.

Determined to prove them all wrong, Lois temporarily removes her son from the school system and begins working with him one-on-one. She has no formal reading education herself, and no one to guide her. But she has hope and the strength of will to persevere. And sometimes that's all you need.

What happens next is a journey—spanning three continents, unique teaching experiments, never-ending battles with the school system, a mother’s discovery of her own learning blocks, and a bond fueled by the desire to rid Nicholas of the “disabled” label.

Reversed: A Memoir is a memoir of profound determination that follows the highs and lows of overcoming impossible odds, turning one woman into a passionate teacher for children who have been left behind. Nothing is impossible when one digs deep and looks at students through a new lens.
