WHAT IF?

  • What if your staff had the skill set to take children who are one, two, or three years below grade level in reading and catch them up in one school year?

  • What if your staff could repeatedly experience children who emphatically exclaimed, “I HATE READING” be transformed into ones who pleadingly ask, “Can I have 5 more minutes? I’m almost done with my book!”

  • What if you could witness children who dejectedly stated, “I can’t read” become avid readers who don’t want to put their books down?

  • What if you could take teachers who say, “I’ve done everything I know, and nothing is working” and provide them with the skill set and tools necessary to be effective reading teachers?

  • What if you could change the WHAT IF. . . Into WHAT IS!

  • This has been my reality for the past three decades, and it can be your district’s reality as well!

  • GUIDED READING is the roadmap - CONSISTENCY is the way!
