What People Are Saying About The  Infographic

Your infographic creates a type of instantaneous psychological relief for teachers. Most of us teacher folk are committed to ALL our students. Nature and its marvelous diversity of abilities can make teachers feel like instruction for all will make us lose our minds. Your infographic rapidly helps teachers feel that all the joys AND frustrations of our daily, teaching lives can be captured on one page; can be comprehended. Between the ever-changing schedules, continuous interruptions and life events of our students, our families and ourselves– at least we have a literacy map to anchor our purpose. What a psychological relief!

Your infographic is by far the most engaging and time effective way to illustrate differences in reading acquisition, along with reference to the school and home /within child influence. So clear, so simple, so helpful.

Dean Stanton

Artist / Illustrator

Dean Stanton’s art of smiling children climbing a ladder first appeared in the 2017 version of Nancy’s infographic. Dean was clearly the perfect person to illustrate the cover of the new book, Climbing THE LADDER OF READING & WRITING: Meeting the Needs of ALL Learners. Dean’s art also features throughout the book itself! Over the last 10 years Dean’s funky art has appeared in many of Nancy’s presentations, and his illustrations depicted the fun skill-based actions in Nancy’s previous book on movement and learning (currently being revised). Dean’s generous spirit is well known in his hometown of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and his talent is recognized internationally.
