Reading & Rhythm Teacher Training

“Most importantly, the Reading & Rhythm Teacher Training program gave students a sense of focus and direction for “moving through” or continuing the reading of a sentence.  Finishing reading a sentence and being able to focus their energy on comprehension not only improved their reading and self-esteem but gave students a reading technique that they own and use wherever the ideas in stories take them.” 

– Diane Collins, Hollenbeck Middle School, Los Angeles

“It was impressive to see and hear the students grow in confidence and improve fluency as they read and also the amount of detail of information that they could recall from the text.  The program is a marvelous aid to the consolidation of students’ learning.  I was amazed at the power of the definition technique when introducing new, key words.”

– Samuel Oyebanjo Teacher at St. Angela’s Ursuline School
