I love teaching reading to nonreaders, and I have taught many children who were thought to never read to read. Many of my students progress from 1 - 3 years growth in reading in a year.

I teach the Linda Mood Bell LiPS program which is focussed on phonemic awareness. Many children pick this up naturally but children with special need to be taught how to do this. It is absolutely necessary in order to learn to read, because it clearly teaches a child the sound/symbol relationship in a fun way. Unless a child knows the relationship between the sounds and symbol, a child cannot decode words. This is done with some effort but also with a LOT of fun.

I love children, and I love animals. I believe all children can learn to read. It just takes time for some children to gain this skill.
