The Supporting Reading at Home Series
By Dr. Veronica Bloomfield ● Available for Booking
In this six-part series called Supporting Reading at Home, Dr. Bloomfield gives parents and caregivers a deeper understanding of how reading works. Through proven methodologies and clear examples, she shares the language and strategies that families can use to support a child’s reading skills at home. The Curriculum is available in English and in Spanish.
Closing the School-to-Home Literacy Gap
As expectations for literacy outcomes continue to rise, schools are being asked to do more than ever to ensure students become strong readers. While teachers are being trained in the Science of Reading, one critical piece often remains missing: the connection between school and home.
Dr. Veronica Bloomfield helps bridge that gap in the Supporting Reading at Home series. She empowers families to support literacy development beyond the classroom and helps schools build a sustainable culture of reading that prepares children not only to succeed in school, but to think, learn, communicate, and thrive throughout their lives.
Grounded in collaboration and reciprocity, Dr. Bloomfield is more than an experienced literacy specialist. She is a trusted partner dedicated to building a sustainable culture of reading within the schools, families, and communities you serve.
