Share a favorite Reading Recovery memory.

My favorite memory is when a classroom teacher and instructional coach said that we needed to bypass Reading Recovery with an autistic student and just put them into special education. I convinced them that Reading Recovery would be good for him, and he successfully progressed! Now, he is an above-average reader who loves to read!

What is your favorite book?

Along Came Greedy Cat by Joy Cowley

What do you like to do for fun?

I love to spend time with my family. I also love to read books and play Bunco with a friend group!

What insights do you expect to gain from attending LitCon?

I am excited to learn more about the relationship between reading and writing and how I can use my students’ strengths in one of these areas to strengthen the other areas.
