Hi, I'm Dawn!

do you ever feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or confused as an educator?

If you are anything like me, then you know those feelings well. Years ago, I’ll never forget the day, working with a high school student one-on-one in the school library and realizing he couldn’t read. He had not filed sight words to long-term memory; single-syllable words were still not automatic. He lacked any semblance of reading fluency or comprehension. And I had no idea how to help him.

It’s so important for you to remember that as a teacher providing literacy instruction, you offer a gift to your students — that of empowerment.

After years spent as a special education teacher, I created Roadrunner Reading to give teachers the tools to lead their students to become great readers.

With Roadrunner Reading, find a place of encouragement when the demands of teaching become hard to bear and learn about exciting new resources to save you priceless time.
