After taking Kimberly Sclarksy Downey’s class on dyslexia tutoring and ChatGPT, I’m in love with having my own personal assistant! Today I had a student struggling on his Barton Book 3 Post Test, mixing up words ending with ‘nch’, ‘ck’, and ‘nk’. Normally it would take me some time to put together some extra practice words. Not today!
