Does your child love to read and discuss texts? Then sign up for a month of books! They'll read a book a week by the same author. We'll learn about the author's life to help make connections to their style of writing. Students will also make connections across texts and answer higher-level thinking questions during discussion groups. Discussions will be led by a certified reading specialist! Note that this course is fast paced and texts are at a fifth or sixth grade reading level. *Courses must have at least 2 students enrolled to promote discussion. Otherwise, the course will be cancelled.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Virginia Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Welcome!
I am passionate about instilling a love of reading in children through sharing engaging, high interest texts. The classes I teach are literacy based, and I also offer reading assessments to help parents have a better understanding of their child's reading level and strategies to support them.
I have ten years teaching experience at the elementary level and my Masters in Reading Education from UVA and am certified to teach readers from K-12. I ran the CETA (Changing Education through the Arts) program by the Kennedy Center, at my school and find great value in arts integration.
I believe children should feel that they are valued members of a class in order to do their best learning. Classes should be engaging, interactive and social, especially in a virtual format.
I have two little guys at home and we love to bake, go on nature walks, and we just learned about Geocaching! Oh, and I'm a Penn Stater at heart- We Are!
