I am not sure if I have mentioned Gina Cooke or Pete Bowers by name before and if I haven't, shame on me. These two people are amazing gems and today I got to meet them both. IDA-IN had a structured word inquiry conference today and when I saw info about this awhile back I immediately looked up how far Fort Wayne was from me and I decided almost immediately that it wasn't too far to meet two people that have pretty much changed my way of thinking.
Awhile back I saw this article on the Dyslexia Training Institutes blog and it really made me think about my daughter. No doubt Orton-Gillingham is good for reading, but OG was not helping my daughter and after reading that article I started thinking maybe this SWI would. (I posted about my daughter and my first experiences with this here.)
Today was the conference and I was as blown away as I expected to be. Just being in the same room with them was worth the price of admission. I will post a couple pictures I took but I want to be sure to share some links to their blogs.
Gina's Lexinar Educator Exchange site. Click on her Lexinars and sign up for them, I have already taken 3 and they are worth it. Also, click on her store. Her cards are really the best.
Pete's website is called Word Works and it is also full of knowledge and good stuff. Click on the links and learn.
Another really great site is Michel Rameau's called Real Spelling. Watch the video's, they are worth the time.
