Why Great Circle? A great circle of interactive learning emerges when we join in advancing the Science of Reading. Interdependence is critical in advancing the learner and the teacher.
In navigation terms, great circle means choosing the shortest distance between two points on a sphere which is rarely a straight line. Figuratively, the collective collaboration of the minds of researchers, scientists, neurologists, therapists and educators who have developed a systematic, explicit approach to teaching literacy. The great circle of reading science intellect is offered and delivered through a structured literacy curriculum at Lexercise.com.
Rhonda W. Hill, owner of Great Circle Reading PLLC, is a Certified Academic Language Therapist, a Licensed Dyslexia Therapist in Texas and a CERI-certified Structured Language Dyslexia Specialist.

My determination to better serve my hard of hearing students led me down the path of Structured Literacy. I am grateful for obtaining the knowledge from my Certified Academic Language Therapist training because it has opened many opportunities to help other struggling readers including those with Dyslexia.
