Spotlight on INSPIRATION:
As the school year winds down, we start to lose steam. School is hard work, especially for students with dyslexia and other learning difficulties. We can all use a little inspiration sometimes. Have you ever dreamed of making it to the Olympics? Dyslexia and other disabilities haven't stopped Eric Gillis or Duncan Goodhew on their journey to the London games. Let their stories and others inspire you to always strive to be the best you can be. Do you have any stories of inspiration to share?

Your adolescent children may hate to read, but they will want to read this exciting trilogy because all of their friends are reading it.
1. Get a hard copy of the book for your child to read. Then add an audio version for support.
2. Purchase the audio book from www.audible.com .
3. If your child has an IEP, you can purchase a membership from www. learningally.com (formerly Reading for the Blind and Dyslexic). This membership allows unlimited downloads of available books, including the trilogy.
