The student will gain confidence in all areas of reading especially in reading comprehension through these activities and instruction.   My goal is to encourage each student and strengthen his or her interest and ability in all the areas of reading!  

This fall marks my 51st anniversary as an elementary teacher.  I have been teaching English, reading, and vocabulary for the past ten years since my retirement. I spent eight years as a principal but my heart belongs in the classroom teaching children. I feel I bring a broad range of experience with children, parents, and educational materials to the online classroom.  As a retired teacher of 33 years, I have taught reading for grades kindergarten, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth in a public classroom. I am also certified as a gifted educator in grades 1-8.  I feel excited and comfortable to be sharing this knowledge with students.  I truly feel if the student is interested, and will complete the work, this class will make a huge difference in the life of the student!  It just may be a game changer!  Let's get excited about learning and have fun together!

Assessments Offered
 I'm always assessing students, informally, as we work on reading. If they look back at the class recordings, there will be corrections as they read.   I will also do an update regularly so that you know what's going on with your child and what they could keep working on. I will review with the student important goals each week.
