"When a child who cannot read well or cannot read at all comes for remediation, you take him through the basic phonics, letter-sound combinations, etc. It's akin to helping a child learn to walk as you hold his hand and guide him... And if he still has difficulty, you help him find other areas he can excel in, be it art, drama, maths, sports, whatever. But ever so often you are surprised to discover that the child is suddenly able to read sentences, paragraphs, stories...The child to whom you were reading a book is now reading a book to you! What joy!
" - Nafisa Moochhala, Remedial teacher, MDA
