In this episode of Rocket Motivation, we learn the story of Lois Letchford and her son Nicholas. Nicholas has dyslexia, which made his ability to read very difficult. When he was seven years old, his teacher told Lois that Nicholas was the worst child she had seen in twenty years. Lois decided she would take over and teach Nicholas to read. She had great success – so much that she has developed a method of teaching dyslexic children with incredible success. Nicholas graduated from the University of Tasmania in Australia with two degrees and also obtained his Ph.D. in applied mathematics from Oxford University. Lois has written a book about Nicholas’ journey entitled “Reversed: A Memoir.” She gives her advice on teaching students with dyslexia and gives advice on overcoming adversity and living your best life.
