My Project

As an Instructional Coach, I get to work with two amazing stakeholder groups at school: Students and Teachers! In order to equitably serve our students, my teachers and I are raring to dive into the renewed interest in the Science of Reading.

We plan on completely reforming our literacy instruction to be responsive to the needs of our students and reflective of the science of how the brain learns to read.

We need these readers and books to jump into our learning!

All Materials are aligned with the Science of Reading and will greatly contribute to our development as responsive educators, therefore providing students with instruction that they need!
