Hello,
I am your child's Title I Reading teacher. This is my eleventh year
teaching. I first taught Middle
School in the Philadelphia City schools and this is my eighth year here at
Wycallis. I have a Bachelor's
Degree in Elementary Education from King's College and a Masters of Education
with a Reading
Specialist and Special Education certifications from Saint Joseph's
University in Philadelphia.
I am married and have two children, a six year old son and a three year
old daughter. Of course,
we have two other sons, our Black Lab, Jake and our Basset Hound, Bowser.
When I am not in school I love spending time with my family and doing
ANYTHING outside.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at the school or
you can e-mail me at cacooper@dallassd.com Thank you!
Our goal is to help children keep pace with their reading class by
working on the five essential compnents of reading: vocabulary,
comprehension, phonics, phonemic awareness, and fluency. I do this
in a variety of ways depending on the child's developemental and
academic level. We read lots of connected stories, play phonics
games, as well as much discussion of vocabulary and the "story of the
week." All of the work in the Title I room is specifically designed to
enhance the work done in the regular classroom. I strive to maintain a
friendly and structured environment where children can feel free to learn
and grow as a reader.
