Alphabetter is for any parent who is both ready to explore and committed to adventuring with their child to unlock hidden talents and open strong literacy skills --for life!

Next 2-day in-person workshops are:

January 25-26, 2025 or

February 22-23, 2024

The session for this Bootcamp must be started no later than 2 WEEKS PRIOR (so you can complete Hidden Genius Assessment prior to the weekend).

Contact us about other start dates, plus March Break sessions..

When a child is living with the stress of feeling inadequate in some way at school, often because they are not successful at all that's being asked of them, home is the place where they seek sanctuary. If the challenging school tasks are being repeated at home, and nothing is changing to increase competence and confidence, resistance is common.

Alphabetter is specifically designed to engage the parent as a co-pilot--one who is learning new skills and mindset shifts alongside their child. The dynamic is very different from the one in which the parent is the adult/instructor.

Parents of reluctant home learners find that if they engage themselves fully in the process and invite the child to join more as a peer, there is a shift in the dynamic. 

The activities are also very different from common homework tasks. When we match natural kinaesthetic skills that feel logical, relevant and purposeful to life goals, learning becomes the joyful adventure it should be.

We have confidence in the ability of every person to re-learn the letters of the alphabet in a way that supports their ability to produce printing that is in order-- as opposed to the dis-order of dysgraphia.

With respect to dysgraphia being "a way of being" it's true that some people  have the ability to "bend reality" and see things  differently from what we tend to consider to be "objective reality".  This tends to interfere with literacy skills, which require a consistent perception  point that is frequently different from the creative perception point.

It has been our experience that specific grounding and activities re-orient these creative and talented athletes, scientists and artists to be connected to literacy in accurate ways. They don't lose the ability to be creative in their unique ways, but they can choose when to be oriented for literacy success.

Diane's own experience of re-learning the alphabet gave her freedom to express her creativity more than she ever had before.

Once the 2-day Alphabetter workshop is completed we explore spelling and punctuation strategies during the 42-day integration session to help you practice using your new alphabet in real life! 

The Alphabetter process of re-learning the letters of the alphabet includes knowing the sequence, both forward and backward. The very same actions work for spelling.

There is a in-depth Punctuation and comprehension option that you can add to your experience upon completion of Alphabetter.

If your child has never been taught to use printed letters while writing by hand, this is the time to fill in that gap!

Even if we never use a pen and paper (because everything is digital) it's really important to have certainty of the printed letters. After all, that's what you use when reading both digital and analogue books, magazines, sites and networks. If there's any confusion, it's distracting and slowing you down.

When speaking with your child's teacher, show them the Alphabetter assessment form and explain that you want your child to resolve their confusion about the printed letters and print their letters for a period of time (rather than use cursive) to fully integrate them.

It won't be long before their printing is solid. That's when cursive can be re-introduced.

Yes.

You can complete virtual trainings and practice them as you wish, but the Alphabetter Bootcamp weekend must be attended in person with every family member.

Of course, it's always more fun together.

That's why it's called  Alphabetter Family ;-)

The weekend workshops are 7 hours each day (with breaks).

From your Dashboard trainings, you'll have actions to practice and skills to grow with your child. As with all areas of life, the more you put into the adventure, the greater the result. Thirty minutes per day will achieve great results.
