“This is a great presentation for parents of PreK-5th grade students. One of our goals at PC READS is to ensure that struggling readers are identified early, and this event is set up to educate parents. It’s NOT specific to struggling readers. Rather it is an overview of how kids learn to read. When parents understand reading skills and instruction, they are able to better collaborate with teachers and support their children at home.” Elissa Aten, Executive Director PC READS, Certified Dyslexia Advocate

“All parents hope that their children develop strong reading skills, both because reading is an essential life skill and because reading for pleasure brings many people joy. When parents understand reading skills & instruction, they are able to better collaborate with teachers and support their children at home,” said Aten.
