In the beginning of the year, ELA Lab Kindergarteners focus on word recognition through phonemic awareness, learning to identify first sounds in words, then segmenting all of the sounds in the word.

Students in the Lab develop word structure knowledge through phonological awareness, print concepts, phonics, and morphology to communicate, decode, and spell. This very important early instruction takes place during their support periods (WIN; What I Need).

Greetings! Prior to becoming a reading specialist, I was both a third and fourth grade general education teacher, as well as a special education teacher in co-teaching setting, and a resource room teacher.  I am thrilled to work in the Language Lab as a reading specialist for grades 3 and 4 students. I am excited to support students and teachers in our literacy initiatives here at MTES!
