Reading Spotlight
As an English teacher whose students
could not read, I went back to school to become a reading specialist. Three
years in high school, ten years in middle school, and seventeen years in
elementary schools were spent in a district with very high poverty. Now that I
am retired and have had time to reflect, I feel that it was, other than family,
the most rewarding experience of my life.
My Resources
At the Reading Spotlight, I create enjoyable, research-based, practice materials for reading and writing
improvement. One of my favorite resources is my free Self-Help Tests that encourage students to take some
responsibility for their own learning (mindfulness!) and provide practical
suggestions for ways to improve. This is one of them:
Another favorite is a set of Audience
Participation Plays that improve listening skills. Kids REALLY enjoy these plays

abilities, too! You can find one below.
Some of my best-selling resources are Bingo games to teach
phonics, word family, and difficult cluster decoding skills. This is one of
them:
Where can you find me?
TBOTEMC’s Teacher Talk and its members have been very helpful and encouraging, starting from the top with Vicky. I have spent all of my time and energy helping kids, and our district had very little money for training. I am mostly self-taught in computing, with large gaps, and EVERY single person has been greatly supportive.
