WINTER 2020
Now is a wonderful time to reflect on the past year and set new goals for the next. Whether you are new to Structured Literacy or are experienced and want to expand on what you are all ready doing, there are many opportunities available for you. We would love to have you join us for our June training. Last year we had such a wonderful class! What a joy to work with such passionate individuals that want to make a difference with their own children, their classrooms, or by tutoring. We are seeing what a difference our specialists are making all over the city! These are exciting times. With laws in both Kansas and Missouri we are seeing an awaking to needs of our struggling readers.
What makes our training special is that we are located right in Kansas City! Learning Abilities provides ongoing support once you have completed our Phonics Fundamental training class whether you rejoin a training class as an alumni, complete an internship, attend a workshop, or just give us a call. We want you be successful with your students!
Last year Jan and I had the opportunity to travel to St. Louis to listen to Dr. David Kilpatrick. His presentation: “How to Improve Word-Level Reading in Students with Dyslexia” both reinforced our work with students and also challenged us to expand and incorporate additional advanced phonological awareness in our lessons. We also traveled to Iowa for their Decoding Dyslexia Conference. We had an opportunity to listen to a number of speakers that were excellent and so relevant to our work with students. We will be sharing with you a number of the topics discussed over the course of this year.
There are students all over the greater Kansas City area that would benefit from Structured Literacy. Please join us as we seek to empower students, teachers, and tutors with the Science of Reading. Each of us can make a difference!
Happy New Year!
