Successful Reading

I have 6 years experience teaching. 4 years have been in Special Education both in inclusion and self contained settings. 2 years I have been teaching reading to high school students who have needed additional assistance in order to pass the state required testing to receive their high school diploma.

I believe in teaching by modeling. I do-we do-you do. Practice is very important. Reinforcement is also very important in teaching for me. When I teach reading strategies and students miss a question, I ask, what strategy could you have used to get to the right answer to allow the students to see that strategies are important.

I have had great success with students passing state testing and succeeding with IEP goals.

i have my Associate's Degree in Elemenetary Education. After receiving that degree, I received my Bachelor's in American Studies, which is another way of describing Social Studies past and current. I then went for my Master's Degree in Special Education.

I am a wife and mommy to 1 kindergartener. We live in Florida and are excited to read together as a family.
