She has also adapted Teaching Reading is Rocket Science (Moats, 2020) and Structured Literacy and Typical Literacy Practices (Spear-Swerling, 2018). Many French and English language school boards across Canada have solicited her expertise given her pragmatic approach to teaching reading and writing, along with her research on the topics of outcome measures and student achievement as they pertain to curriculum expectations, including but not limited to the mastery of French syntactic skills. In 2019 she was awarded with the Faculty of Health award for Excellence in Teaching.
