I'm a teacher just like you!

I've been using comprehension-based methods to teach language for over 20 years.

Over the years, I've fine-tuned an approach that's revolutionized the way I teach whole-class novels.

The 3-2-1 Reading strategy, born out of my classroom experiences since 2001, is my go-to method for making novel studies engaging and effective for every student.

It's about breaking down the reading process into manageable, interactive segments that encourage participation and deepen understanding.

This strategy came to life in my classrooms, where I saw the need for a structured yet flexible approach to reading. The 3-2-1 method simplifies complex texts, fosters lively discussions, and helps students connect more personally with the text.

It’s been incredible to watch students who were once hesitant to engage with novels become active participants in our literary journeys and become more independent readers.

My "3-2-1 Reading Cheatsheet" is packed with the insights and practical steps from this journey, ready to help you bring this same success to your classroom.
