Lois Letchford didn't set out to be the author of Reversed: A Memoir. An educator, married to a university professor, she was uniquely qualified when a teacher told Lois that Lois's first grade son was the worst she'd had in decades of work.

When she decided to home school her son, Lois tried usual methods of tutoring and got the same old (bad)results. So she listened when her mother-in-law told her to open her mind to using different ways of instruction.

Today, Lois uses the lessons she learned to become a popular tutor and coach, helping parents whose children struggle with dyslexia or other literacy struggles. And her son?

He graduated from Oxford with a PhD.

  • Making learning fun ensures the student will show up again to resume lessons.
  • Being underestimated can ignite determination rather than defeat with the right support.
