About Inspired Apple
The journey began with one resource...
The desire to share what I was learning and how kids learned to read and write began to develop with each new facet of my career. I wanted to share with others. I mean... we're all in this together! After spending 10 years as a classroom teacher across two states, I put my first resource out into the digital world in 2008. It was a Book Bingo that I used in my school library during my new role as a school library media specialist. It could be used school-wide, across grade levels. What a joy to share my love of books and literacy with so many students! Definitely a reading teacher's dream.


The Teacher Work-Life Planner
From there, things really took off, when I developed my best seller, Teacher Work-Life Planner that I personally used when organizing all of my lessons and life events. (I still use it to plan for my reading therapy groups and my many daily happenings, even today!)
During my time as a literacy champion and resource creator, I wanted my students to love reading as much as I did! Sadly, I came to a difficult realization.
Struggling readers, choose to read less and less. They lose their love of books more with each passing year.
I wanted to help unlock the real problem for my struggling readers. I wanted to help them appreciate the gift of reading. I made the decision to pivot and begin my journey as a Certified Academic Language Therapist (CALT). Currently, I provide intervention therapy to students struggling with dyslexia and other reading challenges. Using a multisensory and very systematic approach, I help them form new pathways in their brain to unlock the code of language and reading. I love how my career has come full circle... all for the love of kids and literacy! 📚️
