Guide for Developing Reading Skills with Diverse Learners

by Lillian Coger

Overview

Historically, children with cognitive or learning deficiencies were often excluded from effective instruction. Guide for Developing Reading Skills with Diverse Learners emphasizes that the inability to read is not necessarily an inherent disability but often a failure of teaching techniques. The book presents an educational study focused on developing and evaluating a reading program EMR for children with mild intellectual disabilities who still possess learning potential.
Lillian advocates for specialized methods that recognize the emotional, social, and intellectual needs of diverse learners while helping them reach their full potential.

About the Author

I was born and raised in a small town in Georgia, where I graduated high school and attended Savannah State College. After marrying my college sweetheart, we moved to Ohio, where I earned a Master’s degree in Education from Central State University and taught in Xenia. We have a son, now a neurosurgeon in Springfield, MO, and a daughter, an entrepreneur who owns a trucking company in St. Louis, where we currently reside. I later taught in Missouri for 15 years and pursued postgraduate studies at Yale University in “Thinking Skills.” In the mid-90s, I became an entrepreneur, owning a boutique in the Central West End for 21 years. My husband, Dr. Richard Coger, a retired Assistant Director of Veterans Hospitals and author, and I now enjoy retirement and manage our leased restaurant, The Choice, in South St. Louis.
