Experience
This is my 11th year teaching in a Title One school in Virginia (VA is for lovers)!

My role includes administering assessments, assisting classroom teachers with reading interventions, and school-wide reading incentives, and planning and instructing small-group intervention lessons with students performing below benchmark levels.
Teaching style
I love to keep up with the latest research in reading interventions and instruction. Finding the perfect recipe for a struggling reader is a challenge that I enjoy. I learn from each student that I work with and am continuously adding new strategies and ideas to my toolbox. I also enjoy helping my co-workers find new ways to address reading difficulties in their classrooms. I have designed lots of games for my students to keep them active and engaged! I follow the Science of Reading Approach to Literacy as well as some of the Orton Gillingham Approach. I love using multisensory techniques when working with children and helping them grasp the skills needed to be successful readers!
