Teaching Reading
"Every now and then you meet someone with an innate understanding of teaching reading that leaves you awestruck. Janet Chambers is one of those people. She can teach children to read when everybody else in their lives has given up on them. Even better, she can help you learn how to do it, too."
David Denton, Ph.D. (Leading authority on early literacy instruction.)
Multi-sensory Teaching
The Science of Learning
The Science of Learning
"I can't say enough about multi-sensory teaching/learning, or how helpful your books are to that effort. Our children love the big event! Whether it's climbing u-u-up the l-l-ladder to put out the f-f-fire dressed in a firefighter's outfit and carrying a hose, or galloping around the room on a h-h-horse to the h-h-hut to get the h-h-hats, our kids have fun. We never have behavior problems during the big event or our centers. We believe in multi-sensory learning.
