Susan Waters is an avid collector of Alphabet posters and Reading help books! She has taught students in almost every grade from Kindergarten to Grade 8, both as a Classroom teacher and as a Specialist teacher. From the beginning, she wanted to create a Reading “Catch Up” program that would provide a way for struggling readers, especially in the higher grades, to help themselves if they got behind in school. As a Special Education Specialist and Drama Specialist, Susan has often used scripts, songs, and poems to encourage shared reading, practice, and enjoyment in Reading. Baseball has been a very popular theme, with the much-loved Baseball Classics in ABC Moonshot. At one time, Susan played on a CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) team at Hanlan's Point in Toronto - where Babe Ruth hit his first professional home run! Susan has also worked in Television and Radio, as a Researcher, Writer, and on-air Announcer. For over 10 years, Susan was an in-service “Presenter On the Road” for the teacher's union dealing with Humour and Stress Management, as well. With her background of experiences, and her love of kids, family, dogs, and Baseball, Susan created ABC Moonshot to help and inspire struggling readers. Similar to a Baseball player or a team that successfully pulls out of a slump, Susan has seen her students get a renewed enthusiasm for reading, and the ability to "catch up", with strategies from ABC Moonshot.
