"This is a kid that works so hard and has such a good attitude," says her mom, Emily Johnson. "I'm so proud of her."

Cora has come a long way. She has received tutoring for her dyslexia for two years now.

Her podcast takes the listener along to one of her lessons. She sounds out words over Zoom, and her tutor gives her feedback and tips. They don't move too fast, making sure Cora really understands something before moving on.
