Carroll School
Nick was affected by dyslexia. After sixth-grade in the Easton Public School system, Nick transferred to the Carroll School to seek more hands-on attention to his everyday struggles with reading. At the Carroll School, Nick made friends quickly and stood out to his teachers. He also became aware of his learning differences and what effort he had to make. He worked with his tutor on fluency and began to use his strategies consistently in all his classes. His improved fluency helped his reading comprehension and he was quick to perceive the themes of the novels in his language classes. His love of history was evident from the moment he walked into classes. With the proper attention and resources, Nick made great strides – joining in on discussions and sharing his own knowledge.
