Hi!!! HELP!!! I love your videos!!!! We are not trained in UFLI and expected to teach it!!!! Where can I buy your videos which have now become private?? Thank you Laura from Canada
Hi Laura, thank you for reaching out! I don't sell my lessons however perhaps what you're looking for is here www.youtube.com/@the_readers_garden/playlists, I'm currently recording lessons 26-30 and hoping to work through all 128 lessons over the school year/summer.
Good evening, I am having trouble finding your UFLI Lesson videos. Can you tell me how to search or access. Thank you!
Hi there! Thanks for reaching out. I update my lesson playlists regularly and plan to record all 128 lessons over the 2024-25 school year.
What happened to all of your wonderful videos that follow each UFLI lesson?
Hi there, thank you for reaching out. I took a pause but am back up and recording. I will be updating my playlists regularly moving forward.
Hi!!! Why we cannot locate your lessons videos anymore?? Looking for lesson 13/14
Thanks for reaching out! I'm hoping to relist all my videos ASAP.
Excellent video! Thank you so much! I’ll be sharing this with my students’ families.
Thank you for your kind words!
