When reading books together, Isabelle would review a simple one-syllable word, such as&nbsp;<em>bat<\/em>&nbsp;with her daughter, but No\u00e9mie would quickly forget what they discussed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShe was at a French immersion school, so she should have been more advanced with language,\u201d Isabelle said. \u201cBut it was as if she had never seen the word before.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with many children who have dyslexia, No\u00e9mie developed \u201csuperpowers\u201d to cope with her reading challenges. She could memorize entire short books for children and easily repeat them verbatim. This common coping mechanism, although evidence of a great memory, didn\u2019t help her read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Isabelle\u2019s request, No\u00e9mie was evaluated and received the proper intervention. No\u00e9mie was quiet and well-behaved, so it appeared her learning was on track. After No\u00e9mie\u2019s evaluation in the middle of second grade, her reading challenges were evident. By mid-third grade, No\u00e9mie was paired up with Wilson<sup>\u00ae&nbsp;<\/sup>Dyslexia Therapist (W.D.T) Kay Pereira, a reading tutor in the Holliston, MA, school district. Kay quickly noticed her new student was behind in decoding and would often transpose letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beginning in September 2019, Kay met with No\u00e9mie three times a week for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dev.wilsonlanguage.com\/programs\/wilson-reading-system\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Wilson Reading System\">Wilson Reading System<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0(WRS)<\/a>\u00a0lessons, working for an hour each session. Even during the most intense phase of the COVID-19 lockdown, the two continued their lessons in person with masks, meeting twice a week without fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the pandemic, No\u00e9mie and her family moved to Waltham, a 45-minute drive from Holliston, where Kay was based, but they continued to meet. Meanwhile, Kay began the WRS Level II Certification process . She chose No\u00e9mie as her practicum student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo\u00e9mie is very diligent, bright, and friendly, and I was fortunate to have her as my practicum student for my\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dev.wilsonlanguage.com\/for-educators\/program-support-dyslexia-certifications\/wrs-certifications\/wrs-level-ii-certification\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"WRS Level II Certification\">Level II Certification<\/a>,\u201d said Kay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No\u00e9mie completed Step 12 of the WRS program in March 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo\u00e9mie is truly a success,\u201d Kay said. \u201cShe\u2019s not afraid to try. A lot of times students are afraid to get a word wrong, but she\u2019s not. She\u2019s very curious and loves to find out new things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No\u00e9mie is particularly eager to learn new words, especially Latin- and Greek-based words. Naturally, a love of words is beneficial and helpful when learning to read. And learn to read she has! Now a rising sixth grader, No\u00e9mie is reading at grade level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No\u00e9mie is a fan of the Harry Potter series and the Roald Dahl collection of chapter books. She also likes playing the web-based word guessing game, Wordle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShe enjoys reading much more than she did before,\u201d Isabelle said. \u201cIf she\u2019s reading fast, she might have some problems. The difference is now she can certainly cope.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No\u00e9mie\u2019s other \u201csuperpower\u201d is a rock-solid work ethic, which Isabelle attributes partly to the structure and rigor of the WRS program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShe learned the importance of education, of structure, of organization because those are skills she needed to succeed in the program,\u201d Isabelle said of No\u00e9mie. \u201cIn this sense, she\u2019s far ahead for her age.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While spelling remains challenging at times, No\u00e9mie\u2019s friends and family have no doubts her dream of becoming a marine biologist will happen one day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No\u00e9mie (a French name pronounced No-Amy) Doyle was just a kindergartner when her mom, Isabelle, discovered something unexpected.
