Soaring, Not Struggling: Preventing & Teaching Struggling Readers & Spellers

Reading and spelling are complex skills that involve the mind, muscle memory, learning styles and the heart. This workshop will lay the foundations for teaching reading and spelling, aid parents in selecting curriculum, and help parents heal and guard their students’ hearts from discouragement. In this workshop we will learn: why oversimplifications, such as teaching S says /s/, discourage math and science-minded students; and ways to teach to the strengths of visual, auditory and kinesthetic learners while strengthening their weaknesses.
