Grades K-3 Reading
“I attended your presentation for SCIRA and I thought it was wonderful. I am a guided reading teacher in my district. You had some wonderful ideas that I can take back to the teachers I work with. You had so many great things to say I could not take notes fast enough. I have already purchased your guided reading book. Thank you again for a wonderful presentation.”
