Working with students as a classroom teacher, reading specialist, diagnostician, and clinician for a private learning center for many years, my passion to improve the education of our nation's students has led me to writing a  book, and now a second edition, to share my findings with parents and educators.  Although I never had a desire to be a writer, I decided that the best way to reach more educators, parents and professionals who work with children, was to write a book.  I feel strongly about the impact that my findings can make on the improvement of education to all children from learning disabled to gifted. In my book I discuss many overlooked facets of reading mathematics, study, writing  and specific  learning skills and offer techniques for parents, educators and physicians to implement in working with children.  My premise is that learning problems can and should be erased at the elementary level, and that an effective reading approach must incorporate all facets of learning, and in particular the development of learning skills along with basic skills.  I feel that my work, which is based on over forty years of success with the diagnosis and remediation of students with learning problems in public schools, a learning center and private practice, offers a refreshing and assured method for the solution to academic woes.
