In addition to her work in private practice, Selena and her colleagues at Southern Methodist University are working on a Barbra Bush Grant, developing a curriculum and structured literacy content for a learning app designed to advance literacy skills for functioning illiterate adults. Selena believes in research-based, individualized, explicit instruction for all students because she can see and measure positive results. Damaged self-esteem resulting from literacy struggles can have lasting effects. She understands the trauma and potential consequences when left untreated. The whole child and the entire picture must be considered when working with struggling students. All Things Reading believes with support, all students can grow and thrive!
