Hi

Lorien2 Learning to read is the most important task of childhood.  While it's a complicated skill to master, there's no reason the process can't be filled with fun, games, creative thinking, lots of movement, and quality family time. 

When I work with kids who need help catching up to their peers in reading, I approach our time together as a chance to discover how enjoyable language can be. 

We also eat M&Ms.  Because we can.

This blog is a touch-point for me to reflect on my work with my kids (I consider all my students "my kids."  Even my piano students from 15 years ago - still my kids.)  It also might help other parents to look at early literacy learning in a different light.

Enjoy, friends.
