Hi! I'm Amanda.

I’m a K-1 teacher who is passionate about making lessons your students love and that are easy to implement for teachers. Teaching you how to navigate your way through literacy brings me joy.

After many years in the classroom of trying what felt like all the things to help my students become strong readers, I finally figured it out. Now, I enjoy helping teachers like you get past the fumbling and figure out how to effectively teach reading!

My desire is to give you the tools needed to move your K-2 students forward and reach every reader!
