Randy Feldman has been a Hollywood movie and television writer for over 30 years. He will discuss the journey that led him to write the Hallmark Channel movie “The Reading Room” and how that ultimately inspired him to form his own nonprofit -- P.O.R.T.A.L. (People Offering Reading, Teaching and Literacy). He will also examine the evolution of current storytelling trends in popular entertainment and its possible effects on this generation of learners.
Discover Intensive Phonics deals exclusively with basic reading/word attack skills. The program has a multi-sensory approach, which means that it will appeal to a student’s individual learning style – visual, auditory, tactile, or kinesthetic. The program is based on Orton-Gillingham principles of instruction.
Discover Intensive Phonics courseware was developed specifically for students aged 4-9 who exhibit below-average reading skills.
Instruction combines a mixture of daily multi-sensory direct instruction and independent work on the Discover Intensive Phonics computer software.
Reading Horizons offers teacher in-service in both the direct instruction approach and the integration of the software.
