I loved this form of letter using audio. I love the pivot and I am so enlightened. I think it's so brave to meet kids where they are in their educational journey. And to ditch the traditional way of learning for the method that is appropriate for them. It's also so incredible to have clarity at 43. I really enjoyed this today. Thank you!

Thanks Carolyn! After she told me about her dyslexia, I asked her to write for us and she looked at me like "have you not heard a word I said?" She then kindly explained she would be happy to share her story if she could record it. So all kudos to Leigh for the compromise.

I’m so grateful for Leigh’s willingness to share this story. It taught me a great deal, not only about dyslexia, but about judgement and labels. I hope more stories like hers come out so kids don’t feel that heaviness she felt for so long.

Me too, Molly! And she continues to work with kids to make sure they are getting the resources they need.
