The "Try Harder" Myth

Telling students with learning differences to just “try harder” can cause a lot of confusion and harm. Learners want to succeed and children want to learn to read, but not all approaches work for all kids. In this episode, a past Noble Academy parent shares how frustration moved her to look for a school with a reading program ( the Wilson Reading SystemⓇ) that could help her son. Today his favorite college class is English. (Noble Academy is one of only three WilsonⓇ Accredited Partners, and the only WilsonⓇ Accredited Partner - Best Practice Site in the Southeast region.)

Undivided: What You Do for Family

Wherever there are families and schools, there are children who have learning differences. Wouldn’t it be great then if every city had a Noble Academy?

So when a family in Virginia needed us, they found a clever way to work together to become a Noble family.
