Tell me about working with Justin.
Justin is a resourceful and persistent person, especially in his quest to improve his reading and spelling skills. We started working with what he knew and have built up our lessons from there. I continue to remind him that he is learning how to unlock literacy for himself. The first six months have flown by, and we are set to continue for as long as we need to or can.
