Sarah's BIO:
Education: B.A. Wheaton College, Wheaton, Illinois M.Ed. Aquinas College, Grand Rapids, MI Teaching Experience: Preschool and up including college level reading classes. Title 1 director & program developer for grades K-7, ESOL teacher, classroom teacher, grades K-12. Focus of research and study: Learning preferences, styles, how to design and produce materials that will broaden the learning base for all learners through teaching to the visual cortex & cerebellum, centers for visual & kinesthetic memory. Research was done both in the scholarly way by reading the work of researchers, but research has been practical and applied in that everything was tested by teaching to real children. What was not practical, did not produce a desired learning experience, or was confusing or irrelevant was discarded, and only what was effective in reaching all learners was kept and enhanced. Design of alphabet and sight words required multiple hundreds of hours of interaction with children in order to discover the images that communicated best to them. If children suggested changes in the images, those words were redesigned. Because of the enormous investment in time and work in creating these products, we are proud and happy to finally make them available to teachers and parents all over the world, asking only that you honor the copyright by not making copies of the materials for others. We do appreciate this! If you have questions about appropriate use, please email me at sarah@child-1st.com.
