    Welcome!

    Welcome to Read 180! I love being a Willis Firebird and supporting our students in their reading skills. We have small sizes that allow for small-group teaching, along with the digital Read 180 program. “More than 20 years of research has shown that Read 180 is the most effective reading intervention program for helping students who are more than two years behind achieve grade-level proficiency.”

    My Education and Professional Background

    I obtained my Bachelors in Elementary Education from Arizona State University and my Masters in Educational Leadership from Northern Arizona University.  

    I have been teaching since 2005 in grades K-5 and 7-8 English Language Arts.  My experience as a Reading Specialist started in 2014. 

    My Educational Philosophy

    Reading is an important life skill. It encompasses every part of daily life: reading road signs, menus, apartment leases, contracts, etc. Whether you are a pleasure reader or not, everyone needs to be able to comprehend the written world around them.
