✔ Classroom Observations – coaching and feedback for K-12 teachers that fits with their goals and areas of need. Leaves teachers feeling seen and supported, with practical strategies to implement right away. ✔ School and Classroom Library Consulting – boosting your library space, selection, and organization to increase use and check out rates (which should be all of our goals!).
✔ Grade-Level & Building Level Planning Support – collaborate with teams during their planning time, attend data analysis and school wide literacy planning meetings for additional input and support. This can be especially powerful in looking at data to plan for improving our systematic, differentiated instruction.
✔ Ongoing Coaching Cycles – regular touchpoints to build momentum and refine practice, including multi-session refreshers and implementation support.

✔ Student Engagement Strategies – book tastings, reading celebrations, goal-setting, strengthening direct instruction.
✔ Vocabulary Instruction – understanding the research & engaging make & take sessions, infusing academic language into all content areas. ✔ Modeled Lessons & Demonstrations – Book Clubs, First Chapter Fridays, small group modeling.
✔ Classroom Library Support – building, organizing, and maximizing classroom libraries.
✔ Book Studies – e.g. The Book Whisperer or other titles to spark professional reflection.
✔ Independent Reading Practices – conferring, tracking, choice reads, and helping students avoid “fake reading.”
✔ Reading Motivation & Stamina – strategies to increase willingness and joy in reading, engaging even the most reluctant readers.
✔ Instructional Strategies – literacy differentiation at all grade levels, scaffolding, interactive reading notebooks, increasing novel study effectiveness, and meaningful discussion routines.

*All professional development instruction is grounded in the science of reading: systematic, explicit instruction in phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. I believe we can be structured, research based, AND joy filled in our reading instruction.

✔ Family Literacy Nights – fun, interactive events that bring parents into the reading journey.
✔ Early Literacy & Foundational Skill Building for Families – support for the families at your school with an emphasis on early reading skills (phonological awareness, phonics, fluency) and intervening early so students don’t fall behind. ✔ Scholarship & Summer Programming Support – connect families to resources beyond the school year, custom curriculum & content creation to match school & community needs (summer reading lists, book swap nights, library collaborations, summer book clubs and more!).
