Dad was an English teacher who taught high school students. Mom

13 at home and homeschooled their four children. Three of us had no

trouble learning, but my sister Catherine still could not 14 by fifth

grade, and worse still, did not even know the alphabet.

My mother did some research and founded that Catherine had some

kind of learning disability. She sent Catherine to a public school to 15 some help. Catherine made many friends at school and pleased with everyone for telling creative stories in class, but she still couldn't master reading. After all the testing was done, the school had my 16 come in. They were told that according to the test results, they should just take Catherine home.

Tears of sadness ran down my dad's cheeks, but my mom made up her mind quietly. As they walked back to the car, she turned to him and said, "I know she's not 17 ."

Soon after, my mom discovered a learning system that

focused heavily on lesson repetition ( 重复) and building slowly

on the previous ( 先前的) exercises. She worked with Catherine

for four hours every morning while the rest of us studied on our

own. It was hard for both of them, but she often told a crying

Catherine, " 18 is not a choice. You are going to learn to read, and we'll both try! You have to learn to read! You will learn to read."

In time, Catherine got it. By the time she graduated ( 毕业) from eighth grade, she was reading almost at grade level. She continued 19 and was reading above grade level when she graduated from high school.

Catherine came to love reading and writing. All of this because of a wonderfully devoted ( 挚爱的) mother who was truly the best 20 ever—for all four of us.
