Dr. Birshs enduring belief that well-prepared, informed teachers are the major influence on effective instruction in the field of reading and dyslexia had its beginning in 1960, when she met her first student who, although 18 years old, read poorly. The quest to find answers to this puzzle led her to a masters degree in remedial reading and a doctorate in reading and language at Teachers College, Columbia University. After training with Aylett R.
