For the past 18 years, I have taught primary grades. I have a Master's Degree in Literacy of Brain Based Teaching. I have taken all the tools I have learned over the years in the brick and mortar classroom, and chosen what I know works best for children to learn to read. While the over arching goal is for children to learn to read, the best part of my job is watching children fall in love with reading.
