Testimonials
Teaching Reading in the Content Areas
“ I must admit that I was hesitant and skeptical about an online course. This course was excellent. It exceeded what I thought if would be and I have a lot research-based knowledge now that will inform my instruction and my ability to help students gain skills regarding reading all kinds of materials.”- ~ Iowa teacher
Children's Authors on the Web
“ This was an awesome class that I will recommend. I learned so much and hope to use the knowledge when I get back in a classroom. The instructor was quick to answer questions, she was helpful, she was supportive, and she was encouraging. A wonderful first online classroom experience.”- ~ Beth Day
