Hi! I have taught elementary education in Springfield, IL for the past 27 years. I have worked with students in grades K-5. I have taught all elementary subject areas, specializing in reading, writing, and phonics. I have my bachelors and masters in elementary education from Western IL Univ. I also have an endorsement in reading, and have been trained in Reading Recovery. I enjoy working with students and using a variety of teaching styles and materials. In reading, I focus on decoding (phonics), using multiple strategies to figure out 'tricky' words, fluency, and comprehension. In math, I focus on problem solving, relating math to the real world around us, and reasoning. I also teach study skills and organizational skills to elementary students. I would love the opportunity to help your child become more successful in his/her learning.

I have had training in the nationally known phonics program 95% group and am familiar with the Imagine It! phonics program.

Study Skills

For the past 13 years, I have worked with students in grades K-5 who needed additional help in reading and writing. We focused on decoding, word study, fluency, and comprehension - including skills and strategies to help with remembering and comprehending our reading, especially in the content areas of science and social studies. This included study skills and notetaking. Some of the strategies I have taught include the use of sticky notes, highlighting, previewing, read, cover, retell, thinkmarks,... Read More

ADD/ADHD
