About a man who is selectively unable to read the word "California", and why.
But while googling it, I came across a story about a retired teacher who didn't learn to read until after he retired.
Listen to this:
"What I did was I created an oral and visual environment. There wasn't the written word in there. I always had two or three teacher's assistants in each class to do board work or read the bulletin," said Corcoran.
Assuming he was actually good at what he was doing, this sounds wonderful. Finding a way to work around his own disability, and, incidentally, providing a good environment for students he had who might have trouble reading (or who simply learn better not reading - many people don't find the written word the best way to learn something).
