Reading and Writing Support for Parent and Child
Due to increasing academic expectations and parent requests, Parents Helping Parents is also offering a limited number of client spots to help children with their reading and writing skills. The goal is to provide caring, engaging and fun learning activities for children while providing parents with similar tools to help their child at home. As with all her work Sharon Peters believes that if parent, child and outside consultant work together progress is seen more quickly, becomes permanent and results in far fewer supplemental services.
Sharon has permanent certification as a K-12 NYS Reading Specialist and an MA in Educational Psychology/Reading-Orton Gillingham Approach from Teachers College, Columbia University.
