The Embracing Early Reading Workshop is tailored to fit the needs of the participants!  Our workshops provide information on the process of reading and supporting beginning and/or struggling readers.  We are able to “show” how to support and answer questions.  Workshops meet the needs of the participants so that they can better meet the needs of the reader(s) they are supporting!  Embracing Early Reading is available for purchase and preview at the workshops!

If you live in the Cincinnati, Ohio area and are interested in hosting a “workshop” (no charge), please contact us at embracingearlyreading@yahoo.com!  Workshops are available to ANYONE who wants to support beginning and/or struggling readers.  Workshops are tailored to the needs of the participants (parents, teachers (secular and homeschool), tutors, clubs, volunteers,…)  Workshops are successful!

Here is an e-mail we received after returning home from the convention (from a homeschool mom who purchased the Embracing Early Reading Support System at the convention)…

“I just wanted to tell you how thankful I am for your curriculum.  I told my son, Logan, that I was so excited about getting him started in reading through a new set of books.  Immediately, he wanted to start.  So, at 9:00 pm last night I got out a book and told him we could read through one.  He read through it (of course, after I gave him cues listed on your text support card.)  He was so excited that he read a book ‘all by himself’.  So, I asked him if he wanted to read it again.  He enthusiastically said, ‘yes.’  This time he did read it all by himself.  Then he wanted to read another and another and another and after 4 books, I said, it is time for bed, we will read some more tomorrow.  This morning, he woke up and said, ‘Can I read another book now?’  Talk about excitement from him and relief for me!

I am so greatful for your curriculum and I know that God led me to you this week.  Thank you so very much!”

THIS is the purpose of Embracing Early Reading— finding joy, purpose, excitement, confidence… in reading!

We encourage you to share Embracing Early Reading with others who want to understand, teach, learn from, support, and encourage beginning and/or struggling readers!  (In any and every setting!)

Share the joy seen in the face of a child when she sees herself as a “reader”!  Share Embracing Early Reading:  www.embracingearlyreading.com
