Marietta, GA<\/em><\/h5>\n\n\n

Jane Kyburz is passionate about her work as a Wilson\u00ae<\/sup> Dyslexia Therapist (W.D.T.)<\/a>. She has dedicated her professional life to helping students with reading difficulties. Even after an enduring career in education including 25 years as a private Wilson Reading System\u00ae<\/sup><\/a> tutor, she\u2019s not stopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe reason I just keep on going is the students and my relationships with them,\u201d Jane explained. \u201cSeeing their success is what keeps me going.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

More Fun Than Golf<\/h2>\n\n\n

Jane gave retirement a try, but it wasn\u2019t for her. She tried learning to golf and only tutoring one or two students on the side, but there were so many more children who needed help learning to read. “I had more fun teaching than golfing!” she recalled with a laugh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During her long tutoring career, she\u2019s had the pleasure of watching her WRS students grow and succeed through their fifth grade, high school, and college graduations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, Jane had two joyful reminders of why she keeps tutoring.<\/p>\n\n\n

Harry<\/h2>\n\n\n

Harry became Jane\u2019s student before kindergarten. His mother saw some concerning signs in his early development and wanted to give him the strongest start in school that she could.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jane worked with Harry on pre-reading and school readiness skills at first. When he was eight years old, Jane started delivering WRS instruction.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\u201cHe was a smart kid but was severely dyslexic. WRS was perfect for him.\u201d Jane said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two slowly and steadily worked together to complete all 12 Steps. Harry was determined to succeed, and that\u2019s what he did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harry graduated from WRS in sixth grade, and Jane continued to tutor him in study skills and thought organization for writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jane said with a smile, \u201cHis was truly a worst-to-first situation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With his learning needs addressed, Harry was able to shine at school\u2014fully engaging in his classes and pursuing extracurricular interests, including the golf team National Honor Society. His years of hard work paid off when he graduated summa cum laude and got into his first-choice college.<\/p>\n\n\n

Mary Katherine<\/h2>\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Mary Katherine came to Jane for WRS tutoring early in her education as well. While Mary Katherine made good progress, she was only able to attend two sessions per week. Mary Katherine needed more frequent sessions to truly become an independent reader and ended up attending a school for students with reading difficulties where she received WRS instruction during the school day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jane continued to work with Mary Katherine on Steps 7\u201312 upon the school\u2019s request. The pair worked together at school four days a week, and Mary Katherine\u2019s reading skills grew as she worked toward completing the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mary Katherine had a goal in mind\u2014she wanted to go to the same high school that the previous three generations of her family had attended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the time Mary Katherine entered middle school, she no longer needed a special program or interventions and was thrilled to be able to attend her preferred high school. She graduated with honors and was accepted into a competitive public university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese two just really brought it home for me,\u201d Jane said. \u201cI\u2019m inspired by that element of success when I see them graduate high school or college.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Still Dedicated<\/h2>\n\n\n

Jane isn’t ready to stop tutoring. She remains dedicated to helping her students become successful readers through structured literacy. Even as she considers retiring again in the next few years, Jane looks forward to the feeling of victory as each of her remaining students achieves their literacy goals with her help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI might be tired in April,\u201d she said, \u201cbut in May, I see such success, either when I\u2019m giving them the mastery assessment or when I see their standardized test scores.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
