This book tells the story of Lexia Learning Systems, one of the most highly regarded providers of reading software in the nation today. It also tells the story of its author, Lexia founder Robert A. Lemire, an investment manager and conservationist out of Yale and Harvard Business School who gave it all up to pursue a more urgent calling: to take the dys out of dyslexia.
Begun in 1984 in a one-room office, Lexia had conviction and intellectual firepower on its side, a bit of luck, and never enough money. While Lemire was not a teacher or an educator, not a grant writer or a programmer, his vision would eventually become reality: Lexia grew to pioneer products that would re-equip the toolset of young readers across the country, and even across the pond.
This is a story of imagination, perseverance, frustration, disappointment, and tender dynamics. It is also a story of how one man's vision continues to change the lives of millions of young children as they learn to read the English language.
