読むことはできる！1対1の初心者向け読書指導

 I have been a special education/Reading Specialist in Washington State and California State for 10 years. I have had the opportunity to support and engage students with diverse learning needs. I have my Masters in Rehabilitation Counseling working one-on-one with youth and adults with a wide range of disabilities. I am a neurodiverse, homeschool teacher of 4 children with AuDHD/PDA/ Anxiety for over 9 years and have taught each of my children how to read. Their state mandated assessment scores are grades above their grade equivalent peers.
	My experience has enabled me to develop a strong understanding of different instructional strategies to ensure that all students have the skills necessary for academic success. I am passionate about creating a positive classroom environment that is both supportive and engaging, where students feel comfortable sharing their ideas and participating in discussions. With my expertise in Reading instruction, I strive to help each student develop a lifelong love for reading while achieving academic goals.
	I believe stories make concepts more relatable to children. Stories can reach students in a way that makes them laugh, identify with others who are different from themselves, see things from a different perspective, or help them go on adventures when they are stuck where they are.
 	I have 4 children, 2 cats, 1 dog, many fish, and I will probably get some chickens. In my spare time, I sing in a semi-professional choir, I knit, I paint watercolors and acrylic art, and most importantly- I Read!!
 	If you are interested in a class and don't see a time that meets your needs, please send me with your time request. If your student needs more time to complete sections of the book, I am fine with extensions and giving a grade later, once complete. I look forward to meeting your learner in class!
