Here’s My “Why”:
As a mom, I understand the struggle that both kids and parents go through when their child is having a hard time reading. I know the feeling of wanting to take away that struggle, and of searching for the right solution that will lead your child to success. I also know the relief that comes from finally finding the intervention that works for your individual child.
On a similar note, as a teacher, my training and experience has taught me how to determine what the right intervention may be, and how to implement it for each student. I use an individualized approach for each student, incorporating fun, humor and techniques based on current reading research to guide students to build upon their skills. Being able to be a proficient reader can open so many doors in life for our children. Each child deserves the opportunity to reach their goals.
