I am a certified reading specialist with a Masters Degree in reading and lots if experience with dyslexic students.  I have a strong interest in "how the BRAIN actually learns to read and spell", and during instruction, I teach this to children.  
(Most people don't know that our brain is actually NOT wired to read, which is why some children struggle more than others!)  My sessions are highly individualized and based on the way each individual students' brain processes sounds and print.
I have taught in a variety of capacities in public schools and universities.  These roles include teaching kindergarten/first/or second grade classrooms, and work as a K-5 school Reading Specialist; teaching undergraduate reading courses at the university level; assisting new teachers as a sought after Mentor Teacher; and training teachers in reading programs through school staff development sessions throughout California.  I am now retired from public school teaching, and since 2020 I have enjoyed bringing the joys of reading and spelling success to learners on Outschool!
