LETTERS© has developed easy-to-use learning materials for diverse students of all ages. The team started with a simple concept for meaningful worksheets to complement multisensory teaching methods. We soon realized the necessity for a clean, consistent literacy curriculum which contains all of the elements in an easy-to-teach and easy-to-learn English language program.
Michelle Kapelle is the instructional designer and the founder of LETTERS©.
Faith, family, and friends are my inspiration for life. They are the foundation of my worldview and are what gives me fuel for successful achievements.
I delight in opportunities to serve students through designing, developing, and teaching to individual learning styles and diverse abilities.
My career has been education focused for 29 years including work in public schools as a Certified Education Assistant, home educating my three children, tutoring, and work in a learning resources store. The culmination of those years of practical experience has led to establishing and operating LETTERS©.
Through LETTERS© I have had the privilege of designing and developing adaptive curriculum and resources for learners with dyslexia ages 9–18, early literacy ages 4–8 and for those with vision impairment.
This year I have had the privilege of being hired as the Children's Program Coordinator for
BC CHEC 2017, a local home educator's convention hosted by Heritage Christian Online School. It was delightful to serve the homeschool community in such an interesting way. I look forward to continuing in my role for BC CHEC 2018 ... we have so many exciting changes planned for the children's program!
I thoroughly enjoy the great outdoors with my family and friends while kayaking, hiking, and swimming. Reading, games, movies, and playing my flute bring relaxation in my down-time. I love the adventure of road trips and discovering new places.
