How this all started

I recently told my husband that I was retiring at the age of 32.  He chuckled, but I thought it was a great thing to do since I was expecting our first baby.  Quitting teaching was bitter sweet.  Staying home with my baby girl has been a wonderful, but I miss teaching school.  The thing I miss the most is helping kids that struggle to learn.  There is nothing better then seeing a student that is lagging behind catch up to the rest of his class.  My desire to continue to help students that struggle has made me decide to try something new...I am going to be a tutor for students with dyslexia.  I've taught a lot of students over the last eight years that have dyslexia, and I know how challenging school and life in general can be for them.  So here is my blog to share with you about what I learn about dyslexia as I start this new endeavor.  I also hope that this can be a place for parents of students with dyslexia to connect with each other and with me.
