To Piper Martin,
Some sixteen years ago my son was 2 to 3 years behind in his reading skills development before we declared that “there was a problem.”
As his father, I hadn’t been particularly concerned. After all, he was a very active 8 year old boy – and “we all knew” that healthy boys sometimes lagged in their reading and other school development. But as his reading difficulties remained, his grades dropped, and his frustration at being in school grew. His mother and I started to worry. We sent him off to be professionally tested. We hoped he could be fixed, somehow before it was too late. Upon professional analysis it was determined that while he had some of the symptoms of a dyslexic child, he did not have enough symptoms to be diagnosed as dyslexic. So while we were relieved that he wasn’t dyslexic., he was diagnosed as having “learning disabilities.” Not much of an improvement, really.
Now what? What we did was that we sent him to work with Piper, a good friend of ours who had developed the Reading Window School technology. With her tutoring he learned, within only a few weeks, a new approach to reading that helped him adapt to reading with his disabilities.
Reading Window technology got him over the hump. He went from being a struggling and confused learner to a boy that loved to read. Did his difficulties go away? Was he fixed? No, his learning disabilities are still with him. But today he is a confident reader and learner who this past fall was accepted into a four year state college, something I seriously doubted he would ever do.
Reading Window techniques work.
Sincerely yours,
P. Zohav
