Here are some of the comments from our happy Reading for Life Course graduates:
Thrilled to have been able to participate in this course. Many points raised either affirmed my beliefs and or made me even more passionate to share this research and knowledge with other colleagues.
Example ‘structured literacy teaching requires expertise and practice, along with depth and breadth of knowledge’. We need this learning in our teaching degrees.
Example ‘Whether a child’s environment is language rich or not, literacy is still achievable with skilled instruction (we must equip our future teachers with the knowledge and expertise) A child with lower oral language or learning difficulties may make a teacher’s job harder, BUT it also makes a teacher’s job MORE IMPORTANT!
Very enjoyable, informative and inspiring. Thank you.
I have found the information in this course so useful and am looking forward to implementing it in my classroom. This is what I should have been learning during my teacher training. I’m thinking I will definitely purchase Lyn’s books. A lot of very important information and the discussion of the reading wars really shows how much misinformation is being spread about teaching reading effectively. A very good course that I would recommend to other educators!
