Hello and welcome! I'm a wife, mother, teacher, reader, and life-long learner! I have been teaching for 12 years and currently am teaching 1st grade (I have also taught kindergarten and second grade). Teaching is my passion. I am married and we have 4 amazing kids.
About 6 years ago, my son was diagnosed with severe dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia. The same year he was also diagnosed with epilepsy and depression. These diagnoses lit a spark within me. This spark instigated a major turning point for me and my teaching. I began to dive deep into what is needed for good literacy instruction. I came to realize what students with learning disabilities really need. I am learning what works and what doesn't. I don't have all the answers, and I am still on this learning journey. What I DO have is grit, determination, passion, and spark! Please join me as I share the discoveries I make along this path.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much! :) I just love your podcast!
DeleteIt was a joy to hear you speak on the Amplify podcast. I had visited your website before and enjoyed your posts. It was great to hear your perspective. I was a balanced literacy teacher, too, for a long time. Your description of how you used to teach SO resonated with me. Congratulations to you and your son on his success, and thank you again for sharing!
