She has a bachelor's  degree from Bates College, Lewiston, Maine and a master's degree in education from  Boston University. Ms. Wilber is certified in Early Childhood Reading Instruction  from the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs, where she lives with her husband  and two children. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Ms. Wilber has taught and tutored children since the mid-1980s.  Motivated by an increasing number of children who needed tutoring in reading, she  co-founded the Pikes Peak One+One Program in 1995. This church-based tutoring program  provides reading assistance to students from local elementary schools. As Instructional  Coordinator, Ms. Wilber trains volunteers, diagnoses students' literacy needs, and  creates individualized instructional packets for weekly tutoring sessions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Realizing  that parents (grandparents, day care workers, and older siblings) were an untapped  valuable resource, Ms. Wilber created training sessions teaching them how to help  their children learn to read. After receiving hands-on information, even the most  reluctant, \"not sure I'm qualified\" parents experience success working with their  children. Many children have improved one to three reading levels in a semester.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Believing that every child can learn to read, Ms. Wilber has provided this kid-tested,  parent-proven information in her new book Reading Rescue 1-2-3. It is a hands-on  manual combining auditory training, phonics and whole language techniques, making  a complete reading instructional program. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Peggy Wilber teaches \"Reading Stronger\"  classes at Grace Academy in Colorado Springs.
