“This workshop is based on 21st century tried and true evidence-based techniques developed over decades of extraordinary success in Dr. Eileen Feldgus and Isabell Cardonick’s kindergarten and first grade classrooms. They teamed with me to co-author Kid Writing in the 21st Century (Hameray, 2017), a resource book for the training. Kid Writing is a joyful effective writing-to-read approach enabling virtually all kids to read and write with independence, automaticity and fluency by the end of first grade and be ready for literacy success in Grade 2 and beyond.” Richard Gentry
