“They Said He’d Never Learn to Read. Today He’s in Grade 3.” A Rajahmundry Mother’s Story
🗞️ By indiaherald Staff Writer

👩👦 “We Were Told Our Son Would Never Catch Up.”
When Lakshmi’s 5-year-old son, Advay, was rejected from three schools in rajahmundry, the reason was always the same:
“Too distracted. Won’t sit. Can’t read basic letters.”
The private school principal even said:
“You should consider a special school. Mainstream may not be possible.”
Lakshmi’s heart broke. Not because her son struggled — but because no one gave him a chance.
❌ Mislabelled, Misunderstood — But Not Impossible
Advay wasn’t “lazy.” He had a learning delay and auditory processing issues that made letters and instructions feel like static.
At home, he was playful. Curious. Creative.
At school, he froze.
No one had explained why.
Until they came to Pinnacle® Rajahmundry.

💬 “He Reads the newspaper Headlines to Me Now.”
Lakshmi never thought she’d hear that.
But now?
“He reads. He laughs. He’s proud. And last week, his school principal apologized — and offered him a scholarship.”
That’s the power of early clarity and structured support.
