"Vickie,
I am interested in knowing more about the school you teach at. What infomation could you share? What special training was required on your part to work at this school? I am interested because I am the mother of a dyslexic child."

"A great book on this subject is called
" A Mind At A Time", by Mel Levine.
In my opinion, it is like a reference book, but can also be easily read from cover to cover. I especially enjoyed the many tips for teachers."
"I enjoy poetry and have found it a refreshing way to engage students in writing without the hassel of a "set" way of sharing their ideas. At the beginning of the year, in August, I refresh the students with the different kinds of poetry.…"

"At the beginning of this school year, I used "Where the Red Fern Grows", by Wilson Rawls. It was a huge hit. Afterwards, we watched the movie, which follows the book pretty closely, at least I thought."
