Advocating for your kids is so important...and teaching them how to advocate for their own learning needs is equally important!

So honored to work with the amazing professionals who spearheaded this project and the kiddos in this great team!

Having all the ingredients for a cake recipe does not equal baking a good cake... Similarly, those who claim that BL includes phonics, books, spelling, etc, and as a result is an acceptable reading instructional approach do not understand what evidence-based instruction is.
