Consultation
“Explicit teaching of alphabetic decoding skills is helpful for all children, harmful for none, and crucial for some”
SNOW and JUEL, 2005
We have all heard the phrase, “When we know better, we do better!”
At The Reading Clinic, we believe that effective training involves more than just a “course”. We know that professional development must be put into practice, to ensure that the training and the application connect. Having taught in the school system, we understand the complexities of how schools work and we look forward to working with you to improve literacy instruction and bridge the gap between science and best practice in our classrooms.
Ongoing consultation in structured literacy is vital to the success of our participants and is an opportunity to confirm that they are successfully incorporating the skills and knowledge learned to accelerate literacy learning for their students. It also provides teachers, administrators and parents with the opportunity to ask questions as they arise.
At The Reading Clinic, we are passionate about our instruction, practice and ongoing consultation knowing it is aligned to the science and continues to be the gold standard in building teacher capacity. Consistent voice in our classrooms to inform educational improvement can be the norm.
We will collaborate with you, the teacher, administrator, parent or business in a 1:1 or group setting to plan and implement improved literacy programs and strategies that will rapidly transform struggling readers into successful, confident students using research-based strategies.
Through goal-oriented, thought-provoking and student-centred conversations, we work to illuminate every educator or parent’s pathway to success, by building an understanding of the link between practice and learning to read.
Whether you are an individual educator seeking to grow your literacy practice, a school board, district, or a parent looking to support your child, contact us for more information about our consultancy, and our range of services.
At the end of the day, we all want the same thing: great readers who love reading! And the most effective communication starts with listening and understanding each other.
