Orton-Gillingham Reading Coach
Orton-Gillingham Reading Coach
About
I have degrees in both elementary education and early childhood/family education and have spent the past twenty-five plus years homeschooling my own children and working with children with a variety of special needs.
During these years I have gained skills, experiences, and passion for helping learners of all ages and needs develop a love for learning (and reading!) to help them rise to their potential - and beyond!
I have specific training in the Orton-Gillingham Method of reading intervention, particularly well-known for guiding struggling young readers. I have seen the foundation and love for reading that the O-G Method of intervention inspires in our k-3 students!
A bit more about me: I am married and have six children, three of whom we have adopted into our family. Our youngest two are ninth and twelfth grades this year.
We have a golden retriever, miniature poodle, and a Siberian cat. I am allergic to cats but, apparently, Siberian cats are hypoallergenic. Who knew?!
I love to travel when I am able, and I enjoy reading and spending time with my family and friends. Two of my favorite things to do in my spare time are playing board games and watching old classic movies.
I think one of the most powerful things we can do as parents is to continue learning about ourselves and our kids. I am excited to teach you all that I have learned about executive function skills!
