I never forget being in my 7th grade class, filled with anxiety because I was horrified of reading aloud because I didn’t know the words on the page. I remember my mom always telling me “Sound it Out”. She never knew that that was taunting simply because I was trying to sound it out, but I just didn’t know how. I became a math girl because that was the only enjoyable topic in school, and I started creating my own methods of reading and comprehending that allowed me to graduate with honors.
Eventually, I received my first full-time public-school teaching position in 5th grade. I was so excited about that I completely overlooked that it was a 100% title one school. This meant I was pretty much in a building filled with all low performing students. Long behold, my second year teaching I had 44 total students in my fifth-grade classroom. The highest reading level was second grade. So, all my students were either reading on a kindergarten, first grade, or second grade reading level. The first week of school I looked around and all I could see was little miniature versions of me. Like “little mes” everywhere. All these kids were just struggling. Year after year, after being passed along here they were in 5th grade and none of them knew how to read a grade level text. I was terrified and I knew at that moment that it had to be me. I had to stand up and face a system designed to just pass kids instead of going the extra mile to close the learning gap.
I'll never forget the moment where we were at a faculty meeting towards the end of the year and my assistant principal and principal pulled me in front of everybody and told me that every single one of my students, I mean 100% of them, passed the state standardized test. I was in shock, they were in shock, everybody in the school was in shock because last August those babies were reading 3+ grade levels behind and now they passed the state standardized test for 5th grade. That is when I knew.
I knew in my heart that it was bigger than me. It was bigger than that classroom. It was bigger than my school. I was up against a system. A system where little mini versions of myself were crying out for change. That's what led me to where I am today. That's what led me to creating a program that allows teaching to be easy and fun. A program designed to not only help little versions of myself love to learn and read, but also help the young teacher version of myself enjoy the freedom of teaching reading without the anxiety and stress that I went through.
