Amie is a K-5 Literacy Coach who’s passionate about creating hands-on + engaging literacy activities that follow the science. She taught in the classroom for 5 years before moving into her current coaching role where she has been for 10 years. Aside from being a literacy coach within her district, Amie is a literacy consultant supporting teachers and school districts through Literacy Edventures and her membership Route2Reading. 

Amie first learned about the Science of Reading while teaching first grade. When she began her teaching career, she thought she had it all figured out. She quickly discovered that programs and balanced literacy didn't work for all her students. 

She knew as a first-grade teacher, she played a crucial role in students’ literacy journey. She decided to go back to school and get her masters in reading. 

While she was hoping this would be the missing piece, it wasn’t. She went on to receive Orton Gillingham and LETRS training. 

After many years of training, research, and testing, she finally feels confident that she is best supporting her struggling readers and she is excited to share these strategies with you!
