She specializes in integrating classical pedagogy across the trivium to equip teachers for success in the classical world. Aimee is passionate about restoring attentiveness, moral imagination, and joy in reading so students learn not only how to read—but why.
This workshop explores a unified classical approach to reading that forms both the mind and the soul — from Spell to Write and Read’s multisensory decoding instruction through classical practices such as reading aloud, narration, recitation, and Socratic questioning that move students toward wisdom, virtue, and joyful engagement with truth.
– Connect phonograms, spelling instruction, and decoding to long-term fluency and confidence.
– Implement classical practices such as narration, recitation, and guided questioning to deepen comprehension.
– Diagnose common barriers to reading growth and apply targeted supports.
– Design a reading plan that aligns early literacy with the Trivium’s movement from Grammar → Logic → Rhetoric.
– Articulate how classical reading instruction forms virtue, attention, and a love of truth.
