The Reading Teachers Lounge is a podcast where listeners can eavesdrop on professional conversations between elementary reading teachers.
We are passionate about literacy and strive to find strategies to reach all learners. Shannon & Mary are neighbors who realized they were “literacy soul sisters” at a dinner in their Atlanta Neighborhood. Once they started chatting about reading, they haven’t really stopped. Come Join the Conversation.
Allow us to introduce ourselves…
Shannon Betts
Hi! I'm Shannon Betts, and I've been teaching since 2002. My specialty is locating the missing pieces in students' reading development and choosing just right activities to fill those gaps. I create products on TPT RDNG and Boom Learning.
Mary Saghafi
Hi, I’m Mary Saghafi. I’m a reading tutor. I have taught in all elementary grades. I have Orton-Gillingham training (OG Classroom Educator certified AOGPE) and Dyslexia Advocate certification from the Dyslexia Training Institute so that I can continue helping families who are struggling to get appropriate services for dyslexia. I love talking about all things teaching! I believe that humor goes a long way when asking students and teachers to do hard things! I am excited to share with Shannon and learn along with all of you!
