Becoming a Reading Specialist

Hi, I am Bernice Jacobs. I am a mother of one and I live at Plaisance Park, Pointe-A-Pierre. I teach at the Eckel Village Anglican Primary School. At present, I am a Second Year teacher.I have been teaching for the last twenty years.
I have always been interested in the Language Arts area more specifically in the area of Reading. It is no surprise that I am now pursuing this course. I have always been concerned about children who struggle at reading. When I come across such students I really try my best to help them to become better readers. It is my belief that no child should leave the Primary School system unable to read. I would really like teachers in the Primary System to stop promoting struggling readers to the next class and to do something meaningful to help these children learn to read.
I am really glad to have been chosen to do this course.I hope to pass on what I am learning to my colleagues so that they too can hep make a difference in the life of a child.
