  My primary role was to support and extend classroom teaching, and to work collaboratively with staff to design a quality reading program that was research-based and met the needs of students, particularly those who struggled. My passion is working with reluctant readers, particularly boys, to increase their motivation and desire to read as well as to equip them with the skills and strategies necessary to decode unknown words.
