I am a retired public school Principal who has taught and written curriculum for grades K-12 in all subject areas. I have taught learners from grades K-12, Special needs learners, adults, ESL learners from several countries it seems for most of my life. Teaching children is what I love to do! And teaching learners of all ages to read and write is my passion. I personally am an avid reader and have been since I was a little girl hearing my Mom say, "Lights out in there. It's way past your bedtime" as I read with a flashlight under my covers. I love to work with children in all subject area [reading, writing, science, cooking to name a few] but teaching them to read and write in particular is probably my favorite. Seeing the "lights" come on as a learner "gets it" is what I love most and love being a part of that experience. 

I am very happy to be teaching on the Outschool platform and look forward to my passion for reading, rubbing off on your learner.

Parents, the books in the "I Can Read!" series has been used since 1957 and is widely known as a premier line for beginning readers. I chose this particular series for that reason and because it has hundreds of titles featuring award-winning authors and illustrators. A teacher [and parents] can find books at every stage to engage and excite young readers! Additional books outside the "I Can Series" have been chosen as good, solid, teach me to read books and will be used from time-to-time throughout the year.

Safety and security in the learning environment is my priority as well as Outschool's. 
I encourage parents to feel free to check out each book on my reading list to ensure its appropriateness for your learner and that you are comfortable with the content.   

Additionally, please be sure to have all the learner supplies listed below in the Learner Supply List at the learner's first class so s/he is ready and prepared to participate fully upon enrollment. Thank you.

*** A different book may be substituted with notice.
