Your Child’s Writing – The Link with Comprehension
Presenter: Beth Powell, Director, Programs and Program Development – The Reading Clinic
Some children appear to have strong writing basics. They write complete sentences with proper punctuation. They spell well and demonstrate a strong vocabulary. Yet, their written work may pose significant difficulty from a reader’s perspective. This workshop will give you activities to help your child write such that a reader can visualize and understand your child’s writing.

Building Your Child’s Vocabulary – Let’s Talk
Presenter: Beth Powell, Director, Programs and Program Development – The Reading Clinic
Children who exhibit a rich understanding of words in their speech, bring that knowledge to bear in their reading. All too often though, a child’s speaking skill lags when it comes to range and quality of vocabulary – and holds back the child’s growth in reading comprehension. This workshop will show you language-based activities that do a great job of bolstering your child’s vocabulary and speaking skills. Click Here to Register
