About The Teacher
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!

Mission Label:


Mission
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.
