"I was looking for resources to identify ways to help my son improve his decoding, fluency and comprehension in reading.  The workshop is extremely detailed in learning and teaching phonics, spelling rules and providing new ideas to teach struggling readers.  Because of the skills I learned, I gained greater confidence to help my son and other children improve their decoding  and spelling. The training is engaging and  the information extremely valuable."
