Pia Villanueva-Pulido is a freelance magazine writer, children’s author, novelist, and an English/Humanities middle school teacher. Mrs. Pulido currently teaches in Irving, TX. She also specializes in teaching Language Arts and Junior Writers’ Workshops for the intermediate, middle school, and high school preparation levels.

Together with her husband, music producer/songwriter Michael Pulido, they have written The River of Imagination, a children’s picture book collection and CD series in simple lyrical language that school-aged children will easily enjoy. Blue Dragonfly, the first of its series, launched in her spring school production, Spring Fever 2009: Concert Recital presented by Timidsoul Productions. Through the years, Mrs. Pulido has successfully used her seven stories from the River of Imagination as her “platform for creative thinking” to meet the standards-based curriculum. She believes in encouraging her students to embrace their creative inspiration in the form of reading, writing, music, and drawing. What better way to inspire them than to teach by example!

Mrs. Pia Villanueva-Pulido is currently under training and learning how to become an academic language therapist with the guidance of McKinney Christian Academy's new Directed Studies Program for Multisensory Teacher Training and Language Therapy. Following the direction of her qualified instructors at McKinney Christian Academy, Mrs. Pulido uses the Texas Scottish Rite's Take Flight Program, a comprehensive intervention for students with dyslexia, which offers one on one private or small group sessions for elementary and junior high students with written language weaknesses.

In addition to reading and writing intervention, Mrs. Pulido is also available in providing middle school students with writing and/or organizational skills. She takes pride in report writing and regular communication with parents and teachers, and inviting others to take the opportunity to learn more about the Multi-sensory Orton-Gillingham based Language Skills Program.
