clearing up some misconceptions about reading and children who struggle with learning to read! As caregivers it can be helpful to have done understanding of what does and does NOT help kiddos who are having trouble with English and reading in elementary school.

Closing the Gaps partners with TCR to offer one on one tutoring for elementary school students who need some support! Learning gaps are opportunities to grow - not failures of children or parents. PERIOD.

if you have kids who cope completely differently it can be so tough to know what to do or even what to think about it - they might be dealing with the same thing just differently! everyone deals with things in their own way, even the littles!

besides just the sensory stimulation Sandtray provides it also allows them to hold their own world and express themselves in it the way THEY want to - which is something kids don't always have control over. We had the pleasure of bringing in therapists to the community reach and teaching them how to implement sand tray within play therapy.
