Courses by Lisa

Teaching Reading Through Play is divided into 180 short lessons, covering a 36-week school year. Each weekly topic features five short activities specially designed to teach reading through play. Doing one activity daily, five days each week, is recommended because short, repetitive exposure of a concept over time is usually more beneficial to young learners than longer lessons less frequently. Also included is weekly information designed to give parents insight into the science of teaching reading and answer some common questions.
