Teaching Reading

Margaret Menner

Margaret has worked in education for over 36 years, throughout Australia, USA and Asia. She is an experienced primary teacher and an early intervention specialist. Margaret has consulted in literacy education for 20+years and love helping teachers change practice.

She is down to earth and practical. Margaret believes, both teachers and students, can have fun while improving student outcomes in reading and writing. Through her training, teachers develop a joy in teaching literacy and students become lifelong readers and writers.

Why Guided Reading?

Teachers learn how to differentiate their teaching through Guided Reading, they discover how to explicitly teach reading strategies and they extend readers through literature circles. Teachers use assessment to inform teaching and discover how to incorporate phonics and grammar in reading.
