the school's lunch hour. These brief, targeted workshops offer hands-on
strategies to educators in a school without having to schedule time outside of
the regular school day. Comprehensive handouts are included in each
session which allow each teacher to bring the new information back into their
classroom and easily implement what they have learned. Some topics
include:
Multisensory Strategies for Teaching Penmanship
Alphabet Awareness Skills
Teaching Non-phonetic Words
Blending Skills for Emergent Readers
Explicit, Multisensory Teaching of Spelling Rules
Fun and Games to Reinforce Spelling Rules
