Leon & Sallie Norsworthy

Gabriele Cannon

I’ve been searching for Sallie over the years to thank her for turning our son around in his education and for doing this for so many! She also tried to convince governments that the instinctive approach to reading etc was not appropriate for so many children and was dismayed that so many were falling through the cracks. She tutored our son when he was in primary school as he was one such child- thanks to her, he turned everything around and is now a psychologist. When I heard the radio today about ‘phonics’ and teachers saying what Sallie well knows and tried to change, I googled her again- to find that she’d gone to God. Vale Sallie- you’ve done so much for so many and many like me, are so grateful
