The Gift of Reading Starts Here!

Every child deserves the opportunity to become a confident, capable reader—but for many students, that opportunity depends on access to high-quality instruction and support. Through my work with The Center for Literacy & Learning, I partner with schools, teachers, and leaders to build strong literacy systems grounded in the Science of Reading. This means supporting educators with the tools, knowledge, and coaching they need to ensure every student—especially our youngest learners—has a solid foundation in reading.

From leading professional learning and modeling effective instruction to analyzing data and helping schools respond to student needs, my goal is simple: to ensure that all students can read, write, and succeed—both in school and in life.

Your donation on GiveNOLA Day directly supports this work. It helps provide training for teachers, resources for classrooms, and targeted support for students who need it most. When you give, you are not just making a contribution—you are investing in a child’s future, empowering educators, and strengthening entire communities through literacy.

Together, we can make a lasting impact—one reader at a time.
