Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q. How can your program support my child's literacy development?
    A. The PAIR Program offers a variety of services that equip parents, educators, and community stakeholders with the knowledge and skills to support children's literacy effectively. We believe that a strong home-school partnership and a committed community are crucial in fostering children's literacy development. By participating in our program, you'll learn practical strategies that you can use to support your child's literacy journey.
  • Q. What can schools and districts expect from your literacy plan consultancy service?
    A. Through our Innovative Literacy Plan Consultancy, we work with schools and districts to develop a comprehensive literacy plan that supports all students and aims to minimize reading disparities. We have an innovative blueprint plan which combines the balanced literacy approach with the science of reading. This plan can be personalized to fit the unique needs and objectives of your school or district, ensuring you receive a tailored solution that directly addresses your specific needs and challenges.
  • Q. We are a community organization, not a school or district, but we want help creating a literacy plan for our members. Is that something you can help us with?
    A. Absolutely! Our Innovative Literacy Plan Consultancy is not just for schools or districts. We can work with your community organization to develop a comprehensive literacy plan that supports the literacy development of the children in your community. Our innovative blueprint plan, which combines balanced literacy and the science of reading, can be personalized to address the specific needs and objectives of your organization and the families you serve. This allows us to create a plan that directly addresses your unique needs and challenges, and fosters a supportive and effective learning environment for the children.
  • Q. What does your educator training session cover?
    A. Our educator training sessions, part of the Foundational Literacy Educator Training service, not only cover vital elements like communication strategies, positive relationship building, and understanding different perspectives, but they also dive into the What, Why, and Practical How of phonological awareness, phonics, and fluency. The goal is to equip educators with the essential literacy concepts and effective strategies for collaboration with parents and caregivers, thereby fostering a more supportive and effective learning environment for children.
  • Q. How are your services different from other literacy programs?
    A. Our services are unique because they do not just focus on children but involve parents, caregivers, and stakeholders in the child's literacy journey. We use our Empower-Engage-Equip Framework to build the capacity of adults, making them active partners in supporting children's literacy development. We also offer Innovative Literacy Plan Consultancy that combines balanced literacy and the science of reading for an innovative approach to literacy planning.
  • Q. Can you provide ongoing support or follow-up after the workshops or training sessions?
    A. While I ensure that my workshops and training sessions are comprehensive and empowering, I understand that there may be additional questions or needs for clarification. To address this, I offer a limited period of follow-up support after each workshop or training session to answer any lingering questions and assist with immediate implementation challenges. For longer-term support, I highly encourage participants to explore the resources available on my website and social media platforms. They provide a wealth of information and practical guidance on various literacy topics, which can be very beneficial as you continue implementing the strategies learned from the sessions.
  • Q. How will you ensure the literacy plan addresses our community's specific needs and concerns?
    A. When creating your literacy plan, I start with a detailed initial assessment to understand your community's unique needs and goals. Then, I'll work closely with key members of your organization who are intimately familiar with your community's specific concerns. My role is to provide expertise and guidance while incorporating your invaluable local knowledge into the plan. The literacy plan is designed to be adaptable, allowing it to respond and adjust to your evolving needs over time.
  • Q. I am an individual parent and not part of a group. Can I still participate in your workshops?
    A. Absolutely! We welcome all parents and caregivers who are interested in supporting their child's literacy development. You can join any of our scheduled workshops or even opt for a private session. Our aim is to provide you with the necessary skills and confidence to support your child's literacy journey.
