Welcome to 9th & 10th grade reading!

This is my first year at CHS. I am excited to be teaching reading this year. I previously taught math at PGMS for three years. I am a Floridian but I also spent 13 years living in Michigan where I attended Andrews University.

Students in this course will improve reading proficiency with explicit, direct instruction in fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. The program directly addresses individual needs through integrated reading, listening, speaking, and writing methods. Students will read leveled, high interest literature for both academic and recreational purposes. Students will be reading informative nonfiction literature as well as novels throughout the year to strengthen their reading skills. Our goal is to create a learning environment that focuses on supporting a dynamic curriculum, engaging all students in the learning process.
