Personal Details

Bio

As the Wyoming Excellence Chair in Adolescent Literacy, I have 25 years of experience in working with educators to help them address the reading and writing needs of the students they serve. I have studied why some adolescents struggle to improve as readers, and I have developed and researched methods to help address this challenge. I regularly give talks nationally and internationally on my work and have received four international awards recognizing my contributions.
