Testimonials
"The workshop
was good at filling in the why's of
early literacy. Understanding the
value of these skills will help in
putting them to use."
"Saroj shared
her knowledge in such upbeat and passionate
ways. She revived my desire to educate
by reminding me of the 'big picture'
of librarianship goals centering around
helping children-families-communities.
This workshop was a great spirit booster!"
"What a fabulous
training! Saroj Ghoting's enthusiasm
for her subject is refreshing, her
knowledge extensive and presented
in an easy to understand logical way.
I really appreciate all the helpful
handouts as well."
"Talk about immediate
results! A dad of a 4-month old was
concerned that she was chewing on
the books. I saw this vivid image
of Saroj biting on the board books
during the training and reassured
him that he is doing the right thing
and this is helping with early literacy
skills. Please thank Saroj for such
an inspiring session." |
