About me: My name is Liz Larson and I have more than a decade’s experience as a Reading Specialist and elementary school teacher.
*Massachusetts-licensed Reading Specialist

*Beginning Wilson Level 1 certification process this summer
I received my Masters of Education in Reading from James Madison University in Virginia where I worked as a first grade teacher and Reading Specialist for 8 years total before moving to Stoneham in 2019. Grounded in the science of reading, I cultivate each lesson to meet the needs of my students and to equip them with the strategies they need to be successful readers. When working with me, each student will be met with:
*warmth and compassion
*encouragement
*a safe environment to take risks and make mistakes
*efficient and effective feedback
*practical guidance for improvement
I take a holistic approach to education, incorporating the practice of growth-mindset and developing self-efficacy while teaching foundational skills. I’m personally committed to growth through involving myself in educator communities and reading the latest research on the best and most beneficial practices. Most of all, I love kids! Summer lesson package:
*10 lessons total, 45 minutes each
*scheduled around the availability of all involved
The first lesson will be a not-too-painful battery of assessments to ensure that each lesson will be tailored to the needs of the student, along with a collaborative approach to setting the expectations and agreements for our lessons. This will be followed by 8 opportunities of targeted intervention and 1 final lesson to assess progress and give advice to families for their child’s continued reading journey.
