Tackling the three R's in a second or third language This is where Thayoomoo started, 2-1/2 years ago. On her first day at ICS, the bus home left her behind; she couldn't tell teachers who she was, who her parents were, what their phone number was. She didn't cry, just waited quietly. Teachers eventually tracked down her information and drove her home. And in the days and weeks that followed, she took off: speaking, then reading.
