I believe that each child is capable of success. I will work with your child to expand his/her interest in literacy. I will challenge your child to take ownership of his/her learning while giving your child the confidence to excel in reading, writing and language. I will support, supplement and extend classroom teaching. I will also work collaboratively with your child’s classroom teacher to implement a quality reading and writing program that is research-based and meets the needs of your child.
Furthermore, I will use assessments to inform my instruction for your child to better meet your child’s needs. I hope to build a partnership with you, your child and me because parental support is a critical component of a successful intervention. Before I begin any intervention it is important that I get to know you and your child so I can better meet his/her needs. This information will help me understand what motivates your child in order to help your child build his/her confidence, academically, socially and emotionally. To let you know a little bit about me, I am a graduate of Boston University where I earned a Bachelor's degree in English. I have a Masters in Elementary Education and a Reading Specialist Endorsement from DePaul University. I am currently pursuing a second Masters in Reading and an Endorsement in Special Education through DePaul University. I have been teaching in the classroom for the past eleven years. I look forward to working with you and your child. Please email/call me if you have any questions.
