EDVIEW360 - Our Journey from Dyslexia to Literacy: A Conversation with 'Reversed' Author Lois Letchford

Transcript

Narrator: Welcome to EDVIEW360.

Lois Letchford: I have many questions as to why the school or someone didn't say to me, "What is happening in this classroom with this child is totally unacceptable."
