"Hands down phenomenal presenter! She shared such great information!"

"I initially chose this session to fulfill the need for college credits. I am so glad I did! Elizabeth knows her stuff. She is highly informative and answered questions from viewers. I would be happy to be a part of future presentations by her."

"Great resources! Excited to give them a try!"

"Liz was amazing and knowledgeable. This would be excellent for early to veteran teachers and staff. I feel like this would be a GREAT training for middle school and high school educators/admin who may have not taught phonics"

"I am thankful I attended this session. It was very informative, and I will use what I have learned today to better myself as a teacher."

"Great Presentation! Very Engaging!"

"Awesome information! Dr. Stevens is a wealth of information. I liked the books she recommended for us to read this summer!"

"Such deep understanding and resource list for further learning. This was exceptional! Thank you!"

"Incredibly helpful! Would highly recommend it to others!"

"Worthwhile and informative!"

"The most helpful webinar/in-service training I have received in MANY years! Thank you so very much. I can’t wait to get the slides to rethink and look forward to digging into these topics on my own."

"So in-depth! All our teachers need to hear her!"

"Please have Dr. Stevens present more training in the future."

"I am so excited to receive all the resources via email that Dr. Stevens shared in this class. I feel so much more prepared for teaching next semester."

"Stevens was very informative and provided beneficial strategies to promote student growth and achievement in the areas of vocabulary development and reading comprehension. I learned a lot from Dr. Stevens' presentations and would definitely appreciate and participate in future workshops given by her. Thank you!"

"Stevens did an excellent job of blending together vocabulary strategies and comprehension strategies for helping struggling readers. I loved that she explicitly walked us through the "Get the Gist" procedure for teaching students how to identify the main idea in a text. I also love that she is either providing resources for us through an email, or she directed us to the website to find the applicable resources. Integrating the learning of informational text structures with analyzing the text for the main idea is also a great idea!"
