Katie taught in a private
school in Northeastern China five, limited times from 2000-2004.
She used innovative methods in helping teachers and students
learn English. A foundation was laid using an "explicit
phonics" curriculum published by the Riggs
Institute that helps all types of learners read and
write using multi-senory methods. Note: The Riggs 28 Spelling,
Plural, Syllabication, Capitalization and Apostrophe RULES
can help develop writing skills.
Katie believes that foreign
language should be taught as early as possible. The three
to six year old children in the day care program [called
Kindergarten by the Chinese] learned over 200 English words
and began speaking in phrases by using the video series
Your
Baby Can Read based of the research of Robert
C.Titzer, Ph.D. During her absence this early learning
program was continued by the local staff proving that a
foreign teacher wasn't absolutely necessary.
