Literacy Specialist

 
  FLUENCY: WHAT IS IT AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
 
 
The role of the literacy specialist is a unique one. I have the privilege to support both our wonderful students and our dedicated teachers. I provide language arts curriculum support in the form of teaching modeled lessons, planning, as well as acting as a resource for teachers on all things literacy. I am also fortunate enough to work with students that need more literacy support. Small, targeted lessons and working with students with learning differences also add to my days. I am trained in the Herman method and I am able to work with students who have dyslexia. The T.E.A.M.S. tutoring program is another one of the many “hats” that I wear. What an opportunity I have, to encourage a strong link between our students, families, staff and community!

It has been a privilege for the past ten years to educate the students of Plano I.S.D. and I am excited to continue my career here at Aldridge! Our school is a wonderful place where meeting students’ needs is a joy and an honor with such a fantastic staff and community working together!
