  • Testimonial by an early childhood classroom teacher

    "This is one of the best trainings I have ever gone to. I can utilize all of this information within my classroom. I am so excited and invigorated!"

  • Testimonial by Kerry-Ann Edmonson

    "I feel more confident and I know exactly what I need to do. Everything just feels easier for me because I know exactly what I'm doing now and know why."

    KERRY-ANN EDMONSON
    Grade 1 Classroom Teacher

  • "I feel like I'm a different person now teaching. I feel 100% confident in what I'm doing. "

  • Testimonial by a reading specialist

    "It's not a mystery when kids can't learn how to read. We can actually figure out why, and we can help them. RLD has really unlocked what has seemed like a mystery."

    MOLLY TRACY-HARRIS
    K-5 Reading Specialist

  • "The people that are working with literacy are just incredible. They're so kind, so patient. Nothing is 'Oh, that's just because that's the way it is.' Everything is very clearly explained."
