Stephanie Pratt helps teachers, parents, administrators, and everyone interested in helping kids Learn to Read! Listen to this FREE Podcast to hear when you can identify if a child may struggle with reading and how and when to intervene. Also, hear what dyslexic kids need to Learn to Read too! I’ve taken the 60 hour Orton-Gillingham “Plus” class she teaches and found it amazing how there were so many simple things I could be doing to help children Learn to Read! Even just by using a small mirror to help kids see the formation of their mouths when they say a letter sound. Such a small thing that can make a huge difference in helping children remember the sounds of letters! Thank You Stephanie Pratt! Thank you also to OgStar Reading TM for sponsoring this invaluable podcast!
