My Project

Happy New Year! One of my goals as a reading specialist working with students in grades 3-6 is to provide them with highly engaging and interesting texts. I have the privilege of working in small groups, and one-on-one, as well as supporting classroom teachers with literacy instruction.

I have spent some time researching new graphic novels and other texts that my students will find relevant, interesting, and motivating to read!

One thing we know about reading research is that the more you read, the better you become! Please support me in putting incredible books into students' hands!

Ms. Houston-King Winship Elementary School Grades 3-5
