My name is Sherryl Gaffney. I started Improving Reading & Learning after I retired from Heritage Academy as an Intervention Specialist. I first became aware that learning to read was not a one-size-fits-all approach when I was teaching my middle son to read in Kindergarten. I knew he was bright enough because at 3 years old he was recognizing logos and reading them out. However when I was homeschooling him in Kindergarten, it took 3 programs before he started to read. I took courses to learn and equip me to help him, then other children to become successful readers. I have been involved in teaching children with learning difficulties for the last 27 years.
