Today, Irene Daria is a cognitive developmental psychologist and reading tutor to the stars, including the children of Kate Winslet, Cate Blanchett, and Tom Brady and Bridget Moynahan. At the time of this memoir, she was a graduate student and "just" a mom thrilled that her son had been accepted to one of the most esteemed public schools in Manhattan. Sure that he was on the path to a venerable education, she did not listen when her 5-year-old told her that he-like millions of other children-was not being taught how to read in school.An entire, very painful school year passed before Eric got her to realize he was right. Follow along as Daria begins a perplexing but ultimately empowering journey to save his academic life. She finds herself pitted against well-intentioned teachers and administrators she would have loved to trust if only they weren't so misinformed. The more Daria tries to get the school to see that it is teaching reading all wrong, the more the school insists there is something wrong with her child and not with its teaching.Although I Didn't Believe Him is about a disturbing topic, it is a joy to read. Its pages overflow with the tenderness and love a mother has for her child and the trust a child has that his mother will make everything right. In addition to sharing her personal story, Daria takes you behind closed doors at a top-rated school to witness how flawed teaching methods are causing millions of kids to struggle with reading. You will see how a child's struggles in school affect the entire family. In an entertaining who-dun-it way, you will learn about the horrifying history of reading instruction in our country and the absurd way reading is currently being taught in many schools.Simply by going on this life-altering journey with Daria and her son, you will learn how to teach a child to read and will be empowered to set any child on the path to becoming a proficient reader.

In the quiet of the morning before the dawn of day, as I take my morning walks, I speak quietly, I listen silently. I hear, I think and I smile. I have a voice. I have an audience. I am my audience and so are the early risers, the whistling birds, the chirping squirrels, the crawling ants, the gentle breeze and the rest of nature. We are one, we are each other's stories, We are Destiny's Voices... Words give character to our personalities. We express them loudly or silently. We express them in various ways. I am responsible for what I say and you are responsible for how you interpret what I say. Explore emotions through Destiny's Voices, a poetry book; lyrical, narrative and everything else in-between.
