General Info
As a special education teacher, I created many materials for my students. Every learner is unique and presents unique challenges. It seemed like the research often recommended materials to address those needs that I could not find. So, when I had a need, and couldn't find something like what the researchers were recommending, I created the materials myself. Over the years I shared these materials with other teachers, both in special education and in the regular classroom. Their enthusiastic response, and the success of their students, as well as mine, led eventually to the creation of my business: Cardinal Concepts in Education. I chose this name because my "toys" teach basic or cardinal, necessary, skills. Readers need to know letter names and sounds, they need to become fluent with common words, they need to understand how to break words of more than one syllable apart for reading or spelling, and mathematicians need to know their multiplication facts.
