Especially those that struggle with reading, as I have worked with not only my own children in this area, but students who have fallen behind or just need that extra ENTHUSIASM with reading! Reading is fundamental to be successful in all subjects!! I feel that by becoming a proficient reader-which means to enjoy, comprehend and analyze, a student can succeed in all subjects. In today's world, with so much information on the internet, we must all know how to comprehend and understand, and discern what we are reading. I want to make reading fun, enjoyable, a world that can be opened up for someone--and a tool for a student's successful school experience and future career path.

I am writing a book!! I also enjoy hiking, traveling and have been to almost all of the 50 United States, traveled in Europe for a month by train, visited many islands in the Caribbean and spent some time in Costa Rica! I have a life long love of learning, and am always taking new classes and learning new things..I have 4 grandchildren whom I adore! I want to share my love of continual exploration of the world with others!
