About Carolyn

Hello! My name is Dr. Carolyn Grove, and I have my Doctorate of Education in Reading and Literacy. As a reading specialist of 10 years, I sincerely love working with all types of learners, especially in reading, English, literacy, writing instruction, and SAT prep. I have experience working with learners of all ages, from early childhood education through adulthood, for the past 15 years with an emphasis on literacy.

I recently completed my dissertation on motivating struggling students to read and actively engaging learners by fostering teacher-student relationships. I love working in small groups or one-on-one with students because it allows for the opportunity to develop a relationship with individualized instruction to fit students' personal needs.

I enjoy my work because I sincerely have a passion for helping learners achieve their goals. I particularly specialize in struggling readers. I find it incredibly rewarding to help students bridge the achievement gap and develop their skills while also fostering attitudes of self-advocacy. The best part of my job is helping students feel confident and proud by overcoming obstacles.

I have always wanted to be a teacher! I began with babysitting as a teenager, worked as a nanny and early childhood teacher throughout college, and have worked in the same district as a reading specialist for the past 10 years.

I have worked with learners from early childhood through adulthood for the past 15 years. I also have my EdD in Reading and Literacy and have worked as a reading specialist for the past 10 years.

About the lesson

I begin by getting to know students on a personal level to gauge their interests and begin developing a relationship. I then use the Qualitative Reading Inventory to deduce learners' strengths and weaknesses in reading. I use this information to create a personalized framework to implement necessary instructional skills while using engaging materials for learners.

I have worked with all types of students, from infancy to adulthood. My speciality is literacy instruction, and I have years of experience working with English Learners.

I would encourage students to give literacy another chance! Even if it is not your favorite activity, try to be openminded as it will allow you the opportunity to grow, learn, and foster an interest in reading!

I love to camping, hiking, white water rafting, skiing, traveling, reading, food, and adventure!
