Literacy for Every Learner.
Confidence for Every Reader.
I believe that literacy opens doors—not just to academic success, but to identity, voice, and lifelong learning. Through intentional, inclusive instruction, we can empower every student to see themselves as capable, confident readers and writers.
Multi-Sensory Teaching & Assessment
Understanding and addressing the unique needs of every student requires a balanced approach that integrates both formal and informal assessments, as well as multi-sensory learning strategies.
- Use of formal and informal assessment to drive instruction
- Data-driven instruction
- Application of multi-sensory methods like sky writing, cursive, manipulatives, and echo reading
Creating Joyful Readers
I believe that fostering a love for reading is one of the most powerful gifts an educator can give to students.
- Student-centered reading practices
- Culturally responsive literacy (Mirrors & Windows, Gholdy Muhammad)
- Digital book sampling, peer reading, literature circles
Access, Agency & Advocacy in Dyslexia Instruction
When students with dyslexia are provided with appropriate reading accommodations, they are more likely to develop a sense of agency in their learning.
- Empowering students through reading accommodations
- Use of assistive technology: Learning Ally, TTS
- Family-school collaboration
