Overcoming Dyslexia: One Person's Story

By: Jack R. Newton

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

This book is about my life as a person whose parents were told would not be able to go beyond the eighth grade. However, in spite of this, I not only graduated from high school but also did well in college and completed three college degrees and after thirty- five years in public school education retired as a school superintendent in 1988. Throughout this book, I point out how my various school situations and every day life were an indicator of being dyslexic and how it hindered my progress in school, but in some cases turned out to be very helpful. My motivation for this book is the hope that those people who have been affected by this condition of the brain will find value in reading this book and with God’s help, many people will be able to overcome this condition and subsequently live fulfilling and enjoyable lives that will contribute to the betterment of our society.
