During her years in the public schools she spent the most time with children in grades three to five. After retirement, she worked on organizing her lifes work in the area of phonemic processing into 20 Minute Phonemic Training for Dyslexia, Auditory Processing, and Spelling. While working, approximately twenty percent of her caseload each year demonstrated weaknesses in the areas of phonological and phonemic processing. Over the years, she often considered writing a book that would contain all of the strategies, documentation support and word lists she created and collected. 20 Minute Phonemic Training for Dyslexia, Auditory Processing, and Spelling is the result. She now provides private therapy to school age children and writes a blog for www.20MinutePhonemicTraining.com.
