My Story

I've always loved reading and never knew quite why Originally I got into education as a math teacher, but my colleague Deneen inspired me to go deeper into literacy. As a 3rd-5th grade reading specialist, I struggled to find just the right materials to support whole-class instruction with such a wide variety of learners: from emerging readers to advanced readers. How to optimize every minute and reach every student while providing them with just the right instruction that they need to boost their reading abilities?

Now Deneen and I and now we're working together on this project.
