As a dedicated kindergarten teacher with a strong passion for early literacy, I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education along with specialized certifications as a Reading Specialist, Orton-Gillingham (OG) practitioner, and in Dyslexia intervention. My educational background not only equips me with the necessary pedagogical knowledge but also empowers me to address the unique challenges young learners face, particularly in reading development. I believe that fostering a love for reading at a young age is crucial, and I strive to create a nurturing environment where children feel safe and excited to explore new stories and ideas.
In my five years of teaching experience, I have had the privilege of working with kindergarten students in various classroom settings, as well as providing targeted, one-on-one tutoring for those needing extra support. My passion for literacy drives my instructional methods, integrating the Orton-Gillingham approach to create structured, multisensory learning experiences. This approach is particularly beneficial for students with dyslexia, as it emphasizes phonics and decoding skills in a way that is both engaging and effective. I tailor my lessons to meet each child's individual needs, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to thrive.
Building strong relationships with my students and their families is at the heart of my teaching philosophy. I take the time to understand each child's unique learning style and interests, which allows me to create personalized learning experiences that resonate with them. My goal is to instill confidence and a love for reading in my students, empowering them to become independent learners. I am excited to share my expertise and enthusiasm for literacy with young learners, guiding them on their journey to becoming skilled and confident readers.
