Hi! I'm Jenn and I'm here to help teachers who want to deliver systematic, explicit reading instruction/interventions by sharing what I've learned about the Science of Reading and the resources I use daily with my students.
You are in the right place if you…
- Have struggling readers and are looking for help
- Are looking for fun and engaging activities for foundational reading skills
- Want to efficiently utilize limited time with your reading groups
- Are a busy teacher looking for print-and-go interventions
- Want to learn more about the Science of Reading but don't know where to start
- Use Core Knowledge Language Arts (CKLA) and are looking for supplemental materials
Let me tell you a little bit about myself…
My husband and I are proud parents of two boys. Being a #boymom means that there is never a dull moment and I know more about Star Wars, basketball, and Fortnite than I ever imagined.
My teaching journey…
I started teaching in 2002 and spent many years as a Special Education teacher then transitioned to a full-time Reading Specialist in 2011. I was also a one-time kindergarten teacher during COVID and what an adventure that was! With the exception my first year, I have always worked at the elementary school that I attended as a child.
Being a Reading Specialist is my passion…
- I LOVE TEACHING READING!
- I love learning about the Science of Reading and figuring out new ways to implement it with my students.
- I love those light bulb moments with students and seeing their confidence grow as they become better readers.
- I love making the process of learning to read a positive experience that is as engaging as possible.
Reading in Room 11…
In 2015 Reading in Room 11 was born. I have always loved creating resources and materials for my reading groups. I realized that through a blog and TPT, I could help other teachers by sharing what I have learned and the resources I have made.
I hope that I am able to share my knowledge and passion for reading with you and provide materials that will make your life easier as a teacher.
