About Momma

I love to read. I used to read a book a day during my summers off from teaching. I didn’t read anything really substantial….mostly psychological thrillers and romance novels…but I loved it and would devour books. I love my boys. They are the sweetest, smartest, happiest boys in the world! We read many times every day and they love reading just like their Momma. I have many books in my truck and they both read as we are driving. They will also sit by themselves on the floor at home and read and it’s so sweet. I love to teach. I’ve wanted to be a teacher since I was a girl. I used to play school all the time as a child and I eventually went to college and earned my B.S. in Elementary Education, an endorsement in ESL teaching, and a M.A. as a Reading Specialist. During my career I taught for 5 ½ years in the classroom, 1 year in a reading clinic during graduate school, I was a Differentiated Instruction coach during summer school, I was an Individual Learning Needs Coach for one year coordinating interventions for students, and I spent 4 years as a Reading Specialist. I am currently an adjunct professor teaching pre-service graduate students about best practices in literacy. This blog is dedicated to reading with your children. I know from my work in education the importance of reading with your kids but now that I have my own little munchkins, I’ve seen it firsthand!
