Turning Point Learning

Welcome to Loop Learning!


This new sister business to Turning Point Learning has been my Covid passion project!

The past year of online learning gave us parents a firsthand look at our child’s education and in some cases, led to concerns. I wanted to create a resource that pulls all of my training and experience in education into one place.

I love the word ‘loop’ because education is not linear and we all learn in our own unique way and in our own time. I will complete the school - student - parent ‘loop’ with a customized plan for your child and family.

Whether you are looking for a post-pandemic reading catch-up plan, parent & child learning programs or support with a formal diagnosis in language or ADHD, I will work with you to create a strength-based plan to support your child and family.

Dear homeschoolers!

These are difficult times and educating young ones has become even more difficult.

The team at McMurtry Creative have created a fantastic resource that brings history to life. A five-episode series of videos explore Barnum House, a National Historic Site near Grafton. These resources are geared toward the Ontario curriculum with activity sheets.

Please feel free to access these resources at www.mcmurtrycreative.ca and please email us with your comments and suggestions at [email protected].

Thank you!

With the ever changing status of school, we are back to juggling jobs and kids at home🤪.

If you are feeling overwhelmed with all of the unknowns, a mindfulness practice can be an amazing family tool.

At Turning Point we provide a simple 4-session, family friendly mindfulness program that can help with anxiety and build healthy coping skills.

Are you looking for a different approach to help with your child’s dyslexia or ADHD?

Turning Point Learning is a proud provider of Davis dyslexia, attention and math programs!

Davis programs help get to the root cause of learning difficulties with a creative, multi-sensory approach that matches your child’s unique learning style.

If conventional programs have not produced the results you were hoping for, give us a call to learn how a Davis program could help you or your child.

That's right! There are 3 parts to every word:

✅ What a word looks like when you see it (spelling) 👀
✅ What is sounds like when you say it (how to pronounce it) 👂
✅ What it means (definition)

Yet, for 60% of written language, there is no pictorial meaning!!! 🤯

This is at the root cause of confusion for dyslexic readers...and it is easier than you think to fix! 👍

See, despite those abstract words making up 60% of any given paragraph, they only represent about 200 or so words...they are just repeated many, many times throughout text. 👀

By focusing on mastering (and creating a picture for) those specific abstract words (sight words), we can eliminate the vast majority of word confusion!
