Hi Crissy,

You may find value in materials posted at WordsAhead.org and YouTube.com/IndependentScholar and (most recently) at wordsahead.wordpress.com.

Everything focuses on mindful listening first, encoding speech sounds next... and preferably using words-to-be-read in whatever subject you are teaching.

Best regards as you launch your new career!
