Barbara Hinds

Barbara Hinds’ training in Reading Styles receives rave reviews across the United States. Educators love the fun, the inspiration, and the multitude of powerful ideas that Barbara provides. She is caring, enthusiastic, and deeply knowledgeable about kids, learning, and how to pull the two together.

Barbara has been a classroom teacher (and a District Teacher of the Year), a reading/language arts coordinator, and a Reading Styles facilitator. She has been instrumental in the development of a host of successful Reading Styles Model Schools.

As Laurie Bauer, a third-grade teacher in St. Augustine, Florida said, “Barbara could give a workshop on making peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwiches, and we would be flying out the door full of enthusiasm to be the best sandwich makers in the world!”

Linda Queiruga

Linda Queiruga combines her masterful teaching talent and wide experience with enormous enthusiasm and energy. Linda became the first teacher in the U.S. whose students achieved a remarkable two-year gain in reading comprehension in only four months using the Carbo Reading Styles Program.

She accomplished this feat with tenth-grade special education students. Since then, Linda has helped thousands of teachers, K-12, to connect children with learning. Linda’s talent, joy, humor, poignantly inspirational stories, and powerful practical strategies make this an outstanding seminar for all educators.

As Sean Saturnio, a fifth-grade teacher in Hawaii said, “ This workshop was absolutely the most powerful and inspiring training I have ever been to! I can’t wait to go back to school to witness the dawn of my new teaching career.”

“I truly enjoyed the recommended steps towards interventions—the strategies and activities are wonderful!”
Gloria Marie Gonzales, 1st-Gr. Teacher, St. John Berchman School, Edgewood ISD, TX

Nada Bizic-Teague, Reading Coach, Polk City SD, FL
Oprah Winfrey often speaks about ‘Aha!’ moments. This was one of the greatest ‘Aha’s’ I’ve ever had. I left with some terrific ideas for changes in my classroom...I thought the inservice was fabulous and would strongly recommend it to anyone who works with children.’
Bridgette Culpepper, Teacher, Grades 10-12. Calcasieu Parish School Board, LA
