Reading At Last

The Neuro-Educational Program has many success stories, here’s an account from a mother who’s son has been on the Little Giant Steps Program:

Last week was a good day, a really good day. We’ve been reading so slow for so long that it startled me one morning when he skimmed easily through a paragraph. I hesitated. Should I try something harder? I did. I pulled out the 2nd grade reader from Rod & Staff. He paused over a few words that were new, but picked up on them easily once he saw them again as he read. Read he did. 3 lessons. He didn’t want to stop. I tried not to get too excited. I mean it must be an easy 3 lessons, right? We put the book away & went back to doing the rest of his program and on with the day. Later that night after all were tucked into bed I happened upon him hidden under the covers, flashlight in hand, reading ahead in his reader. Lesson 7 already! I VERY NICELY made him go put away the book & go to sleep. I went to my office afterward and cried. I cried because I’ve waited since Kindergarten for some sign that things would get better. 10 years wondering if my son would ever be “normal”, whatever that is. We are not out of the woods, but I can see the light ahead. He can read. Let me say it again as I cry. HE CAN READ!!!!    ~  B.Sanderson
