===**My name is Kate and I am the Literacy coach in a preK-8 public school in Massachusetts. There are roughly 1,150 students in our diverse school! I created this wiki as a way to reach teachers and eventually parents. My hope is that we can create a community of life-long readers and writers through engaging instruction and technology! **=== ===**Please feel free to browse through my pages. I hope you will find something that peaks your interest! If you would like to provide feedback, please share. You can create or respond to a discussion topic on each page. **===
