I have talked to a number of parents in the area and am hearing the need for one on one intervention (speech and language therapy, focus on reading/spelling, reading comprehension, etc.). I would like to focus on this part of the business, before doing book clubs I previously mentioned.
I have worked as a CDA (Communicative Disorders Assistant) in the school board for 16 years. I have specialized training with various programs including, Lindamood Bell (LiPS, Seeing Stars, and soon Visualizing and Verbalizing), as well as attended workshops for PECS, Writing Without Tears and Boardmaker programs, to name a few.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I am just starting this business and look forward to hearing from you to ensure I am meeting the needs of the parents and children in this area.

Let's talk!:)
This is a new business that will focus on one on one reading intervention, as well as spelling, reading comprehension, auditory memory and speech and language concerns. I will be running various book clubs for children as well. These book clubs take place in a high interest, interactive and fast paced environment.
I am trained in a program that gives the child a new way to attack reading. lindamoodbell.com Please feel free to browse this website to learn more. This program is ideal for children who may need a new way of learning.
I will post a book club outline soon. The first one I plan on having will be directed towards grade 7/8 boys. Boys who do not like to read..... I want YOU!:)
"THE BOOK HATERS BOOK CLUB"
My plan is to run book clubs will as follows: 4 sessions, 2 hours each, 1 theme per session.
#1 theme/session- 'No Books Allowed'- will focus on literacy activites, and discuss what it is they may not like about books. Looking at literacy differently. It will be active, interactive and an open learning environment.
#2- Lyrically Speaking- will focus on music lyrics...that is actually poetry! Shhh, don't tell them that! We will discuss various lyrics, rhyme, vocabulary used (don't worry- this is G rated:).
I have lots of ideas- the when/where/how often will depend on you.
Let me know what you are thinking!:)
