I try to learn as much as possible about my students' strengths and interests. I always look for ways to support students who struggle and accelerate students who need challenge. I have worked with elementary students for a long time, so I bring to the job lots of experience with hands-on, multi-sensory learning. I love working with students and making learning fun for them. I have most of my experience working with students in Kindergarten and First grade and am very passionate about teaching phonics, blending, segmenting, diagraph's, letter names, letter sounds, sound families, decoding, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension and sight words.
