About Me

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.
