About Me: I am a Basic Skills Teacher in a Wayne, NJ. It is a suburb of New York City. I work with small groups of students from Kindergarten - 5th grade in reading and math. I have a passion for literacy instruction with a master's in reading and certification in Orton Gillingham.

I actually spent most of my weekends hanging out in Cape May New Jersey. I love it there. My sister and I went for a little getaway last weekend. How about you? How was your summer.

Tell me a little about your new literacy program; I am interested. Our district just purchased Wilson Fundations and F. and Pinnel for our word study program. Wilson is very scripted; there are pros and cons as with most programs. It is only one component of our overall balanced literacy program.

I love first grade. It is fun to watch the growth that occurs in grade one; they are like little sponges... taking everything in and with such excitement! It's great!

I hope to talk to you soon.
