If you have ever worked in a school, or you are a parent, you probably understand the strong importance of early literacy skills on children. I just watched a professional development webinar as part of my summer professional development goal and learned so much about the basics and foundation of reading. Although I expect to learn much more in practice when I serve as a K-2 School Psychologist, I find that engaging in continuous learning and growth is vital to my continued curiosity and performance in the field. I really enjoy platforms like OSPA, APA, Council for Exceptional Children, and Thriving Students.

I hope you are enjoying your summer! Reading is such an important gift and ability. I am looking forward to completing some research on a site called Reading Rockets to continue to attain a strong foundation in reading development and intervention. Not to mention I do have my old textbook from grad school. LOVE being a life long learner and am really enjoying being part of this amazing field. ❤

Plus, I wanted to share a few pictures from my summer adventures so far! Love me some fun and traveling. I went to Bedford’s 250 US celebration, Went to London on a graduation trip, and watched the Lion King at Playhouse square in Cleveland. Not to mention had delicious peaches and creme at Cordelia! ❤

Happy Summer Break!
