Awards & shining teacher moments
Actually, my most valued teaching moment came when I realized the key to teaching elementary students with dyslexia to read was to provide them with Dr. Seuss books. I was able to take a fourth grade student from non-reader status to the fourth grade reading level on classroom reading tests in the span of only one year with this method. Jon went on to successfully graduate from high school after years of fully integrated classes, with the aid of books on tape, available free to the dyslexic as well as the blind.
