About Me

I moved to Alabama in 1978,and graduated from Fairhope High School in 1984. I attended Faulkner State Jr. College, and then the University of South Alabama where I graduated with a Marketing degree. I am married with two children, Jack and Heather, and we live in Spanish Fort. I have gone back to the University of South Alabama, and I am majoring in Elementary Education. This is my blog where you can explore some of the different things I have done in my studies.

Shared Reading


I taught a lesson on shared reading when I was at the school. I read a poem that was humorous, and the kids seemed to really enjoy it. I made them all a copy, and had them echo read after me and also read the poem as a group. Shared reading is important, because it allows the struggling reader to read along with the good readers. It also models what good reading sounds like, and gives the kids a chance to practice right after hearing it done correctly. Here is a link to my shared reading lesson.
