About us
At our blog, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to succeed in reading, writing and spelling. Our mission is to empower educators, parents, and tutors with ideas and materials that can transform the learning experience for students who struggle with literacy.
About us
Vickie developed a system for helping children improve their skills for matching sounds [phonemes] and letters, putting them together to form words, and sorting out the many problems they faced with understanding phonics and learning to read faster. After retirement, she wrote her ideas in the publication “20 Minute Phonemic Training for Dyslexia, Auditory Processing and Spelling.” Three years later, she added information to help home-school parents and teachers apply the phonological strategies and word lists provided in both books. “Winning Solutions for Struggling Readers and Spellers” is the result.
With a significant section of the population reading below sixth-grade level, her greatest hope is that both publications will enable children, through parent or professional instruction, to achieve higher reading and spelling competency. She hopes they will have brighter futures resulting from improved literacy skills.
