Teacher expertise and credentials
Florida Teaching Certificate in English/Language Arts
I am a certified English and reading teacher who has taught reading and spelling for over 15 years! I have noticed that many students struggle to write paragraphs when they are not aware of how to structure a proper paragraph. When students are given explicit paragraph instruction in a fun and creative way, students are able to produce amazing results and master paragraph writing.
