Lois Letchford
For the past 20 years, Lois Letchford has been a literacy problem solver-beginning with her own son, Nicholas. Specializing in teaching children who struggle with learning to read, her creative teaching methods vary depending on the student. Lois’s non-traditional background, multi-continental exposure, and passion for helping failing students equip her with a unique skill set. Lois is a literacy spokesperson for struggling learners who have fallen behind in the traditional classroom. Through coaching and workshops at international conferences, TV and radio appearances, she uses her own story in Reversed: A Memoir to teach educators and parents how to create flexible learning environments using comprehensive and innovative teaching methods. Originally a physical education teacher, she later completed a Master's in Literacy and Reading from the State University of New York at Albany. Her transformation of Nicholas makes her an inspiration.
