Upcoming Presentations
I am a credentialed Reading Specialist with over 20 years experience in the Primary classroom.
After years of developing my own curriculum, my peers urged me to present this material at the California Kindergarten Conference, which generated an overwhelming response to publish my program.
I have since grown this basic curriculum into the 'HeidiSongs' product line and website, which now includes both music and videos, plus presentations and keynotes nationwide.
Upcoming Presentations
Heidi's live presentations are as dynamic as her program, so don't miss the chance to hear what's new and say "Hi" at one of the education conferences listed below. With new invitations and schedule confirmations coming in all the time, check back often to see if Heidi will be in your area soon!
Looking for the best support of this powerful, multi-sensory program? Have Heidi come to your school for a custom presentation designed to your teacher's specific program! Get the best ideas and feedback to help build or polish your program, directly from Heidi! It's the most fun your team will have all year, and your grade level test scores will surely reflect it!
