About Me
Welcome! I am a middle school English teacher and have been teaching since 2012. My blog is dedicated to bringing the Science of Reading research into the secondary classroom.
Since 2022, I have helped thousands of teachers integrate SoR in their secondary English classrooms by adding tiny tweaks to their every day lesson plans. If your striving secondary readers struggle to read on grade level, you’re in the right place. Don’t throw out your curriculum, just supplement it with some explicit scaffolds.
