Every student deserves the chance to fall in love with reading and become life long learners through reading, especially before they enter high school. I specialize in teaching students who are on the margin of giving up on reading.

In these hard economic times, high interest reading with hands on literacy centers based on best practices are hard to access by students.

My students are in need of a high interest classroom library along with an inviting reading corner. In conjunction with this, I would like to set up hands on literacy centers that can engage them to gain the skills and strategies to empower them in the areas of comprehension and fluency.

Your help will make it possible for my students to gain a lifetime love for learning through reading. This time is vital for them to gain confidence with books, especially before they enter high school, and your donation will truly make a difference in their lives!
