feedback from previous participants:

 

“I left Patricia’s dictation workshop truly energized and excited. All anxieties and concerns about the development of my children’s writing flew right out the window! We now enjoy writing and look at it differently in a relaxed and fun-filled way. Learning about dictation and its many benefits has transformed the way we write, dried all our tears of frustration, and enhanced our creativity. What a gift she’s given us – freedom of expression. Don’t we all long for this?” –Meliss G.

“Very useful information presented with insightful personal stories. Reaffirmed we’re on the right track.” –Heidi K.

“Coming into this workshop, I knew very little about dictation. I now feel like I have the tools to use dictation effectively with my children. I’m excited to use many of the suggestions that Patricia mentioned!” –Monica B.
