7/20/2009 (9PM EST): Parents as Reading Tutors (PART), Part I: Preliminary Steps to Becoming an Effective Tutor
Since language is the foundation of most other academic learning, a solid reading ability is imperative to your children’s education. The Parents as Reading Tutors (PART) teaching method can help you build that learning foundation.
The purpose of this three-part series is to teach parents how to apply PART—an easily learned, scientifically developed program that parents can use to help children with reading problems. In as little as 15 minutes a day, research has shown that reading speed, comprehension, and reading test scores increase significantly when parents use PART as directed, even for children with reading disabilities, learning disabilities, and/or dyslexia. Through this series, Dr. Steven Duvall teaches parents how to be involved and effective in helping their children learn to read.
In this first of three sessions, Dr. Steven Duvall introduces the Parents as Reading Tutors (PART) teaching plan. Parents will learn how to (1) prepare for a PART tutoring session, (2) recognize different kinds of reading errors, (3) determine their child’s reading level, and (4) graph their child’s reading progress.

Latin isn’t a subject that needs to be put on the shelf until the children are older. Join us to discover how you can learn this important language along with your 5th–12th-grade students and teach them their advanced English grammar at the same time! This e-vent will unlock the world of Latin and equip you to teach this foundational subject to your children.

10/5/2010 (9PM EST): Spelling and the Brain
Many children (and some adults) have trouble learning to spell, but the difficulty may not be with the student so much as the method of presentation. How do you help your children embrace this vital skill instead of running away from it? In this @home e-vent, Andrew Pudewa will address the most efficient way to store spelling information in the brain, while sharing specific steps and tips to succeed in teaching spelling to your students. Leave this e-vent with a greater insight into the nature of spelling and neurological function and be well-equipped to meet the needs of all your children, not just the “naturally” good spellers.
