I believe that all children should know how to read, it's a vital skill that children need as part of their foundation as a person. I've been a literacy coach working with elementary children for over three years as part of the Arise2Read program. My specific includes understanding, mastery, and use of the first 1000 sight fry words, a list of words that make up the most used words in the English language. By providing children with this foundation, it sets them up for a strong literary foundation that carries over into their lives.
I have an extensive background in media, and I have a B.A. in Communications from the University of Tennessee at Martin. I've spent over a decade freelance writing, working with media outlets, and helping platforms and brands develop engagement strategies. This experience allows me to connect with people from diverse backgrounds, and I have no issue with respecting other cultures and ways of being. My experience has also given me the ability to make decisions quickly based on the current need, and taught me how to be flexible in how I communicate based on the receiver. I believe that is an important skill when it comes to teaching literacy because every single person is different.
