Thank you INtown Atlanta Magazine for sharing our story. “Sowing the Seeds of Reading” by Clare S. Richie appeared in the August issue of INtown Atlanta.
What reading skills should a child have? It depends on the child’s age and other factors. We came across a great article that shows the basic reading skills a child can be expected to demonstrate at various ages.
We came across this image on the web recently, and we wholeheartedly agree! REAP understands the great importance of science-based reading instruction, especially for struggling readers. We’re constantly working toward our goal of training as many teachers as possible so they can use scientifically proven instruction to improve the reading skills of all their students, from beginning readers to accomplished readers.
Daniel Britton, a student of the London School of Communications, decided to create a font to simulate the frustration a dyslexic feels when trying to read.
How to Help My Struggling Reader: The Orton-Gillingham Approach
By: Jennifer McCullough M.S. CCC-SLP of PediaSpeech in Decatur, Georgia
Late one night, I found my 9-year old daughter hiding under her covers with a flashlight reading “one last chapter”. Though I scolded her to turn her light off and go to bed, I went away smiling. She has what I call the “reading bug” and I count my lucky stars. Throughout my career most of my clients have had to battle to be able to read. As a result, very rarely do these children read because it is fun. These struggles happen way too often.
A huge thanks to Senatorial candidate Michelle Nunn for taking the time to meet with us last week. Michelle wanted to learn more about the challenges small businesses like CertaPro Painters face and how we are working to positively impact Georgia public school students through Reading is Essential for All People (REAP).

Here’s how it works.
Recently our first round of public school teachers completed phase one of their Orton-Gillingham training with REAP. Here are just a few of the quotes that came from the surveys they filled out after completing the course.
“I feel like OG was the missing link between what I knew about reading instruction/reading workshop and what my struggling readers truly needed to be successful.”
We hear teachers wonder about the REAP Orton-Gillingham training, “Why didn’t I get this information when I was in school learning how to teach kids to read?”
Teachers are using their new knowledge!
Reading is Essential for All People is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving reading proficiency in public school students through teacher training and enrichment. REAP provides public school teachers with specialized training that reinforces the foundations of reading. These training approaches are helpful for any child, in any classroom, small group, or one-on-one situation, and are especially critical for struggling readers. REAP is located in Decatur, Georgia.
