Our providers enjoyed themselves and were heartened and encouraged by your message. The quality and personable nature of your presentation impacted the audience and helped to give them additional tools to promote literacy in their programs and thus raise the quality of their care. Thank you for helping forward our mission: to positively affect the lives of children by giving support and guidance to the people who care for them every day. ~ All Our Kin, New Haven, CT
Your enthusiasm is contagious and inspires others. You have already created waves; and your return promises a tsunami of enthusiasm and practical advice for supporting children’s’ literacy. Looking forward to your prompt return to San Antonio. ~ Literacy Volunteer
I am an educator and the mother of two young children and I came away from Diane’s presentation on Strategic Literacy with more tools than I went in with and that feels good. Diane is amazing and I hope she returns to our community. ~ Early Childhood Literacy Community professional, New Haven CT
Helping a child become a lifetime reader, for learning and enjoyment, is a formidable task. You have the formula in ” Reading Together”. INSPIRATIONAL!.~Librarian, International Reading Association Conference
Reading Together teaches children to love reading.
~ Parent, Lick Wilmerding High School
Diane was engaging, informative and caring all at once! I loved to watch the young mothers listening to your every word and then wait in line to have you sign their copies of your book. You empowered each of us to “raise a child who loves to read.” ~Director YWCA
“…informative, passionate, articulate, founded on research, interactive, conversational, humorous– these are some words that come to mind…”
~ Teacher, Montessori Conference, Boston MA
Reading Together is worth its weight in gold — and should be required reading in every teacher training class and current teachers should jump at the opportunity to use it as a resource. I have been exposed to many resources and I’d put this at the top of my list. ~Educational Therapist in Reading & Learning Disabilities
