Please join us for an engaging virtual workshop designed to equip caregivers to support their children’s literacy development while school is not in session. Ultimately, our goal is to cultivate not just reading skills, but reading inspiration. Whether you’ve already developed a structured supported reading routine or you just want to make the most of the commute to camp, you will learn an array of reasonable and impactful strategies that keep readers growing.

All are welcome to attend, though you may find this workshop most helpful if your child is: entering kindergarten through third grade, having a hard time reading at their expected grade level, or recently making significant gains in reading after struggling previously. 

This workshop is presented by Mandy Shankman, LCPC, from LB Counseling Group. Mandy has 18 years of experience assessing and meeting children’s social-emotional, behavioral, and academic needs through evidence-based practices as a school psychologist. And, that left her only moderately equipped to identify and address her own child’s atypical learning needs when they first emerged a few years ago. Mandy’s personal and professional experience has sparked a passion for destigmatizing learning disabilities, empowering children and adults to work with instead of against their brains, and supporting parents to be educational partners. Currently, Mandy is a licensed psychotherapist practicing in Roland Park. She provides individual and couples’ therapy as well as comprehensive psychological/psychoeducational assessments.
