I've only been teaching for seven years, but somehow within that limited amount of time I have taught reading in MANY ways. I started at a high-performing charter school in Colorado where we read "classic-ish" novels and developed worksheets and plans to align to the books. Then, I worked at another high-performing charter in New York City where my world was rocked by Reader's Workshop. And then, I moved back to Colorado Springs and became a pseudo reading-interventionist and was faced with teaching a "skills-based" reading method.
While I recognize there is no perfect way to teach a child to read, I know that one style of teaching reading that has resonated most within me as an educator and is currently inspiring me to write and share units, lesson plans, and technology files. I'm sure there will be typos not only in my lesson plans, but in my posts, and I ask for your grace as I work to get things created, posted, and out to others. I'm also aware that many other people are probably doing and creating even more amazing lessons than I will post, but maybe someone will find these helpful. All I ask, is that you use any materials you find and spread the word if you like them! I hope this will become a place where passionate teachers can find, share, and collaborate to impact all students.
