"Somewhere, She Learned to Read..."



Elena  is reading. 

Somewhere, she has learned how to do it. 
Phonics, single-word recognition, comprehension...it's all at work here. When she began going to school she was almost entirely non-verbal, with severe language deficiencies. She still has major pragmatic language deficiencies and has trouble putting sentences together to express her thoughts but, she is reading. 
She can read!

I don't believe in miracles, but I believe in miracle workers. And a whole lot of work from numerous workers went into this miraculous little achievement.
