Joyce Magner, Third Grade Teacher, PS 193 Alfred J. Kennedy

My son William is dyslexic. When he entered 3rd grade, his self esteem was very low. He felt defeated by his learning disability. Mrs. Magner played to his strengths and passion (soccer). William's reading ability improved dramatically as his self esteem improved. William is now in an honors program in college and he's on an academic scholarship. Mrs. Magner helped him at a pivotal time. She helped him to develop the confidence to face his disability.
