Learning together

Our consulting encompasses all aspects of reading.  Differentiating staff development to meet the needs of your staff or district is what we do best! 

Teachers tell us they value our substance.  We posses a deep understanding of comprehensive literacy and are able to present on any of the following topics to meet your needs.

  • Reading Assessments
  • Reading Components
    • Interactive Read Aloud
    • Shared Reading
    • Guided Reading
    • Conferring
  • Accessing Strategies
    • Comprehension
    • Accuracy
    • Fluency
    • Expanded Vocabulary
  • Student Behaviors and the management that holds it all together
  • The Daily Five
  • Trading Spaces:  Creating Beautiful Classroom Spaces for Readers and Writers

Teachers tell us they value our agility - We shift directions quickly as necessary, both in response to and in anticipation of our teachers' and students' changing needs.  Each seminar is tailored to your specific literacy needs.

Teachers tell us they value our strategy - Every action we take is done with our students', teachers' and schools' curriculum and learning strategies in mind.

We have also been told we are entertaining - We love what we do and share the funny side of teaching and living.  Visit The Sister’s calendar for topics presented at other Districts.

"Gail and Joan's Trading Spaces class took my classroom to a whole new level of purposefulness and my students and I love the cozy look and feel of our room!  The lamps, couch, tables and bookcases help to create a variety of different learning spaces throughout our classroom.  We now have a gathering area, den (classroom library), small private workspaces and two different areas to meet with a small or large group of students.

Thank you for showing me how a little rearranging, rummaging through storage areas, and bargain shopping can improve the learning environment for all my students!"
