Literacy Life
my relationship with literacy
started long ago when my mother would read books to me daily. I have memories of her reading every day, whether it was a novel, a book on politics or the newspaper.
I also had many wonderful teachers who developed my love for literacy early on in my life.
as I believe that reading is like breathing in and writing is like breathing out, i've been teaching reading and writing to children for the past 15 years, and continue to do so today.
This page will be dedicated to my current thoughts about literacy and some great links to support your journey as a reader & writer.
​
A question worth wondering... Are you more of a reader or a writer?
A little of both works best for me, but writing has always been my joy.
