Summer Starts with EBLI

20Jun11

The beginning of the summer has been eventful as ever for Nora and the OOPRC/EBLI staff.  On Saturday Nora attended the Beyond Basics fundraiser at the Taubman Design Center in Detroit, MI.  She had a great time and met many wonderful people who are interested in literacy.  Thank you to Pam Good, founder of Beyond Basics, for such a wonderful event!

The past few weeks have seen many days of training and consulting for Nora and Cricket.  Nora did the first two days of training for Crestwood in Dearborn, the school that is creating an EBLI course for all of their incoming freshmen.  There was also a great training last week at OOPRC with teachers from St. Marys in Sault Ste. Marie, North Huron, and Muskegon schools.  In addition, Nora and Cricket finished up consulting in several other school districts.

Though Nora is no stranger to constant change and growth in her business, this summer will see some forward leaps for EBLI.  There will be a great deal of focus on putting EBLI online so that its reach can be extended even further.  She also has new staff members coming on to keep up with the increased demand for quality reading instruction.

Remember that OOPRC is open all summer as well.  It is a great time for kids to come in and get 1-on-1 instruction while their brains and schedules aren’t quite as full.

As always, thank you to all our supporters out there, whether you are an educator, parent, or EBLI advocate.  You have helped EBLI to grow and reach more and more struggling readers every day!  Keep stopping by our blog, and we’ll keep you posted.
