I have been fortunate enough to have many different roles in both teaching and publishing. I was a middle school language arts, reading, and drama teacher and a literacy consultant in classrooms from grade K all the way through 12. I have worked at a major basal publisher as well as at National Geographic, and, as a freelancer, have worked on numerous programs in reading, language arts, social studies, science, spelling, elementary math, and even French. I am the author of many kids' books, mostly about science and social studies topics. I also wrote a professional development series with Linda Hoyt, "Lifting Literacy for Academic Achievement." I most recently co-authored a book with Linda, Heinemann FirstHand's Interactive Readalouds, and I am excited to be speaking about readalouds at the middle school level at the National Middle School Association Conference in November. I am also excited to meet other authors and consultants here!
