Training Options for Professional Development

Rime Magic is the phonics and fluency accelerator! Learn how to bring high student engagement and fast success to your phonics instruction.  Sharon Zinke’s professional development approach brings excitement to the classroom! Phonics instruction has never been so engaging with such fast success. Teachers are able to fine-tune their Rime Magic implementation so that their students are proficient with strong word recognition before the end of third grade. Upper-grade teachers are amazed at how quickly older students who have fallen through the cracks are able to catch up and successfully participate in language arts and content-area instruction throughout the day. Primary-grade students who spend five minutes each morning enjoying Rime Magic will move up through the grades with strong word recognition and foundational skills.
