About Carrie

Carrie was invaluable as a literacy coach. I returned to teaching after several years away. Her knowledge of current literacy topics and patient guidance gave me the confidence I needed to implement a program that was brand new to me.

There's no such thing as a kid who hates reading. There are kids who love reading, and kids who are reading the wrong books.
