Professional Development for Educators

My Teacher, Literacy, and Me™ | Children are often fixated on the illustrations and rarely attend to the printed text. Teachers, too, can miss opportunities to deepen students’ comprehension. But there is a way to transition word callers into critical thinkers: My Teacher, Literacy, and Me™. This professional development workshop  is revolutionary because it helps younger readers become one with the author.

Professional Development for College of Education Majors

Ready, Set, Teach!™ | Are college of Education Majors PREPARED TO TEACH READING? It’s sobering to note that recent discussions  whether many university teacher preparation programs are truly graduating well-prepared educators—especially those equipped to support children, particularly in urban settings, who struggle with reading comprehension and often perform multiple years below grade level.  In fact, the discussions reveal that teachers are methodologically limited when it comes to identifying and addressing why kids can’t read.
