It was an incredible honour to engage in a hearty conversation with Nora Maginity Chahbazi about her Chapter, Teaching the World to Read Against all Odds. I stepped away from the conversation with an expanded view of numerous points and a deep appreciation for humans working in the Education space. This conversation brought about a number of emotions and important points. We discussed:

- Nora's change in the professional journey from being a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Nurse to being the Founder of EBLI   Evidence-Based Literacy Instruction.

- Her daughter's struggle with reading.

- Nora's journey in how her fight for change turned into a calling, a passion, and a labour of love.

- The work of https://eblireads.com/ is to provide training for teachers, educate parents, provide tutoring services, and much more. Check out their website for more details.

- A brief snippet of the trauma of a parent that has a child with reading struggles.

- Some of the books that have influenced Nora's Chapter:
