Two Talks with Angela Norton Tyler

Propel Your Child to Reading Success

Is your child a struggling or unexcited reader who would rather do anything other than pick up a book? Do you dream of seeing your child reading well and enthusiastically?

Two things must happen: first, you must teach your children how to read well; then, you must sell them on the joys of reading. In this presentation, parents learn how to do both and leave with a step-by-step plan, simple strategies and tons of ideas to guide their children from struggling or reluctant readers to those reading happily at (or above!) grade level.
