About the store
I worked as a full-time, paid reading tutor for three years (helping struggling readers in grades K-6), and then as a full-time first grade teacher for two years. I fell in love with first grade and absolutely love watching students grow to become amazing readers and writers. Currently, I get to stay home with my own small children. Now that I am at home, I still put much of my time and energy into helping my own children to love learning. I'm so excited to have another outlet to share my love for teaching!
