The moment a teacher suggested I needed a different approach, which led my family to pursue the Tadam Reading Program and ultimately transformed my reading ability.

She explains discovering mind maps in high school with Mrs. Jones, how color-coded maps and the story structure helped structure essays, and how she used a scribe to verbalize her thoughts during exams, ultimately using those methods to excel.
