Kathleen Germs, B. ED
We are currently experiencing a literacy crisis in North America and many children are struggling with reading.
I want to change that!
Every single child deserves the chance to read!
This is why I am extremely passionate and dedicated to teaching reading. I have spent the past several years completely immersed in learning about the Science of Reading research and how our brains learn to read. I have been teaching for 14+ years and have been a literacy mentor to many teachers around the world. I am Orton Gillingham trained and have taken several courses through The International Dyslexia Association, The Reading League, IMSE, Top Ten Tools and much more. Many education systems are NOT using evidence-based resources, which reflects in the high number of children who are reading below grade level. Every child can learn to read, and every brain learns to read the same way by following the Science of Reading research.
