 The opening sentence of my winning essay is: "When I was in Elementary School, I had my Mother believing I was retarded. If I were a young student today, I would be labeled as Learning Disabled." However, since then, I learned that I am not retarded, I just LEARN DIFFERENTLY. | H o o k e d on Literacy I can help improve Everychild’s ability and joy for literacy. H O W During my 30+ years as a Public School Art Teacher and Researcher, I have created a New Paradigm that can improve Everychild’s ability to become literate. This paradigm has expanded literacy to include Visual as well as Verbal literacy. The Public Schools are a "Living Laboratory" where I have researched and experienced Practical Methods that change lives. SUCCESS breeds SUCCESS! | |||||||||
