Big news for OTTER Reading 🦦
We’ve been selected as a semi-finalist for the NC IDEA SEED grant!
I’m so grateful for the opportunity to keep moving forward in such a competitive process alongside other innovative companies across North Carolina.
OTTER Reading is all about making reading instruction more effective and accessible through hands-on tools for early learners and the educators who support them.
This milestone is one more step toward reaching classrooms across the country & getting the right tools into the hands of the students who need them most.

Sometimes my worlds collide and it’s so much fun! This was for a doctorate assignment that supported the Really Great Handwriting curriculum that I helped write using my 3D printer that brings all of my crazy ideas to life!

After working on it for DAYS and 30 pages later, I finally got my grant submitted! 5 minutes before the clock expired too! 🤣😅. We were asked to submit a video under 3 minutes with our grant. It could be a pitch or a demo. So I mashed both together! I’m not a huge fan of public speaking! I get so nervous! So this practice was super beneficial!

Hi! I know it has been an incredibly long time since I updated my page and shared exciting updates and literacy news! I want to get better about posting here and talking all things MULTI-SENSORY and LITERACY!

One thing I have really become interested in is handwriting! I have had an opportunity to speak about handwriting recently, and its impact on reading is huge! I consider it the unsung hero of reading!

I will start sharing some interesting articles I have found and some fun strategies you can use to support your students as they transition from learning to form letters to learning to spell to learning to write!

Feel free to share if there are certain questions or interests that you have with handwriting or writing in general!
