Ever feel like you are alone in your journey with the Science of Reading?

Wish you could chat with more K-2 teachers who use structured literacy to help ALL children have fun while learning to read?

Me too! So I created a community for K-2 teachers and reading specialists to connect and grow together!

Hi, I'm Tess

I am a teacher, mom, and a child of God!

I have LETRS & Orton Gillingham training which allows me to create Science of Reading based resources.

I love finding out what is preventing a child from learning to read and creating activities that are fun to overcome the obstacles.

I love exploring Kansas City while running on coffee and wine!
