Parents, Teachers, ESL Teachers, Grandparents, and Tutors:

 

You are invited to a two-day Spell to Write and Read (SWR) Course!  Spell to Write and Read is a proven method of curing dyslexia, preventing dyslexia, and helping students of all abilities to excel in reading and spelling. It is used nationally and internationally in homeschools, private and public schools, and tutoring with students of all ages.

 

In this SWR Basic Course you will gain an overview of the program, its methodologies, and historical background.  For the greater part of the course you (the teacher/mom) will be taught as if you were the child learning from scratch.  This experience with you being the student will help you to better understand SWR and give you the confidence and ability to teach your own children/students with SWR.

 

The SWR Basic Course is two days, 16 hours in length, and taught by Britta McColl, Endorsed SWR Trainer. The registration fee is $100. After the completion of this two-day course and completing a simple take-home test, you can request a certificate of completion that will verify that you have had 16 clock hours of continuing education.

 

 

Pre registration: We appreciate registrations a month to two-weeks prior to the class so that we can properly plan to serve you. A $25 deposit will secure a slot for you with the balance due at the class. If you need to register later because of some condition outside of your control, please contact me at: morning@mwt.net for space availability.

Information about the Cochrane, Wisconsin area:

 

1.  Cochrane is a 30 minutes drive from the Little House in the Big Woods homestead and Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum in Pepin, Wisconsin. Families coming to the course can visit this historic site while mom/teacher attends the course. (There is even a trundle bed for smaller children to lie down in and have their picture taken!)

2.  Cochrane, like Pepin, is in the Mississippi River valley.  There are many charming cabins within an 8 mile radius of Cochrane for families to rent and make part of their summer vacation plans.  Dad and kids could swim or fish while mom was at the SWR course. Boating on the river is beautiful with several islands to explore.

 

3.  There is a nice public park and swimming pool in Cochrane.  If you come as a family, Dad could play and swim there with kids during the course.  There is an old time grocery store complete with fabric and dry goods in Cochrane.

 

4.  There are towns on either side of Cochrane that are right on the river and extremely scenic:

• Alma, 8 miles north of Cochrane, is a beautiful “river town” with a view of the Mississippi River from all parts of town.  There are bed and breakfasts in the towns where a person could stay for a reasonable price. One sweet place if you are alone or with a small family is a darling brick bed and breakfast (Laue House Inn, 608-685-4923) overlooking the Mississippi River and the charge is only $35 a night.  There are many interesting shops and restaurants in Alma.  To see a picture of Alma and find out about more places to stay and/or eat go to: http://www.almawisconsin.com/
• Fountain City is 8 Miles south of Cochrane and has many beautiful sites as well.  To find out more go to: http://rhometown.com/about/about.cfm?city_id=CI00025540

For you campers, Merrick State Park is only 5 miles from Cochrane also on the Mississippi River. http://dnr.wi.gov/org/land/parks/regions/wcr/merrick.html

 

5. The National Eagle Center in Wabasha, Minnesota is a 30 minutes drive from Cochrane.  Currently there are three live eagles at the center and you are able to get very close to them and watch volunteers feed them. http://www.nationaleaglecenter.org/

Ten minutes from the National Eagle Center is Lark Toys with an old fashioned carousel with hand carved animals. http://www.larktoys.com/carousel.html

 

 

6. Christ Lutheran Church and School in Cochrane is hosting the course and will generously allow us to use their brand new community room that will seat between 50-75 people!  If you decide to bring your family to the Cochrane area for the course there is a very friendly playground on the grounds of this Church/School where your kids could play while dad supervised.

 

Please let me know by e-mail if you are interested in attending this seminar in scenic Cochrane, Wisconsin!
