Reading Boost

Quoted from the article below: “A former teacher at Sunflower Elementary School, Barbara Mullen was the featured speaker at the "Reading Boost Parent Seminar" at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Lawrence Public Library. "Decoding words is really the only true way to teach children to read," she said. Mullen believes that English language skills are currently trending in the wrong direction at Lawrence Public Schools, and she said that the cueing system is a disservice to many young students, especially those with some form of dyslexia.”

Barbara’s story is a fantastic example of parents taking the education of their children as their own responsibility first, then using what they learn to benefit others in our community.
