TRACK 1:
"Foster Optimal Mental Wellness in LD Kids" featuring Dr. L. Read Sulik.

"Dr. Sulik is an exceptional speaker and expert psychiatrist (with a) 10-step approach to help children achieve optimal mental health. . . ."

TRACK 2:
"Morphology Development & Advanced Decoding" featuring William VanCleave 

"In fourth or fifth grade, students are introduced to textbooks filled with longer, multisyllabic words. In early high school, the caliber and complexity of that reading increases substantially. Even with effective basic phonics instruction, readers are often unable to handle both the increased quantity of text and its complexity. With this in mind, popular presenter VanCleave picks up where basic word attack leaves off."
