Enhancing Literacy Skills for Expat Students in Need
Building Inclusive Classrooms... One Educator or Learner at a time
Hi, I'm Irene McCann-Braun! I’m a reading teacher trained in Orton-Gillingham methods. I start by assessing each student to find the right starting point, then guide them through structured lessons tailored to their needs.
