As I use a great deal of literacy based therapeutic activities and primarily service the preschool population now in my career, this course’s information was highly valuable. Dr Lederer was easy to attend to as she spoke at a pace comfortable to her audience. The videos of sample books read aloud in part were wonderful examples to connect her information with.

I feel this course was excellent because the presenter took time to focus the audience by encouraging us to think about how we select books and then by the end of the presentation, I felt inspired to seek metafictive books since I now have a better understanding of their power. The examples provided were very helpful and added to my understanding.

This is a great way to really think through books and what my goals are for book reading. It makes me more aware of book content and how to address different areas for my therapy kids. It also gives me information for teachers, as I talk with them about targeting some of the therapy goals in class, and all kids benefit from those highlights.
