What Your Colleagues Say About Your Presenter

"This was honestly one of the most beneficial workshops I have every attended in my 20 years of teaching. Having interventions broken down by skill was extremely helpful; I already have so many students that I will be implementing the activities with. Not only will they be helpful to me as the school’s reading specialist, but I am always trying to help the teachers implement interventions into their classrooms."
