"My daughter was struggling to learn her ABC's letter names, and sight words in kindegarten. No matter how hard she tried she could not memorize the letters and words. She didn't like to pay attention to books or try to read. Shawna started seeing her for language and literacy therapy at the end of her kindergarten year. she was pretty traumatized already and didn't think she could learn to read and spell. After a few months they found their groove and my daughter began to learn. As her skills grew, her confidence grew. When her school recommended that she repeat kindergarten without doing anything differently we decided to homeschool. One and a half years later she is reading and spelling she is approaching an average first grade level. Her confidence is trong and she loves to take her turn playing, "teacher." What Shawna did worked for my child. She couldn't sound words out or memorize them. She needed to learn the pieces before she could make sense of the sounds." --Dayna Bennett
