I am a Reading Recovery® teacher at Dewey L Carter.  This is my 3rd year in Florence School District 1.  I taught for 21 years in North Carolina previously.  I have been teaching Reading Recovery for 23 years.   I love to help students discover how to be independent readers and writers. I graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill with a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education and Sociology.  I graduated from Appalachian State University with a Master's degree in Reading Education. I attended Clemson University for my training as a Reading Recovery Teacher Leader.
