Hi! I am thrilled to be apart of the WISD Dyslexia Therapist team!  My goal is to help students reach and exceed their academic goals, as well as encourage positive reading habits that support lifelong learning.  I collaborate with parents, teachers, and administrators to share current instructional practices to meet the specific reading needs of students. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions about your child's reading. 

The best way to become a better reader is to READ, READ, READ! It is important that students are able to choose what they want to read. Please help your child find fiction and non-fiction books, magazines, websites, and other reading materials that are of interest to them.  

Independent reading at home should be on their reading level. If the material is frustrating, you can help by reading with or to your child, as needed. It is also very important to discuss what your child is reading. Be sure to ask questions often.  Click the link for example questions.  You can do a few each time. Click here for questions.

I will also be encouraging them to use Learning Ally as a way to have books of interest read to them.  Please allow them to use this program to further their vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension.

I appreciate you sharing your child with me.  It's going to be a great year!
