Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Melissa, and I’ve spent over 12 years as an elementary school teacher. During this time, I developed a deep love for education and a passion for helping young learners thrive. My journey as a teacher has allowed me to work with students of various ages and backgrounds, shaping my approach to personalized learning.
In addition to my classroom experience, I’m also a proud homeschooling mom. This experience has given me a unique perspective on education from both the teacher’s and parent’s viewpoints, further reinforcing my belief that learning should be flexible, engaging, and tailored to each child’s needs.
As a certified Reading Specialist, I’m dedicated to helping children develop strong literacy skills, ensuring they have the tools to succeed in all areas of their education. Whether it’s working through the fundamentals of reading or helping more advanced readers hone their skills, I love guiding students through this crucial part of their academic journey.
Through this website, I aim to provide valuable resources, insights, and support to fellow teachers and homeschooling parents who are dedicated to fostering a love of learning in their children. Let’s work together to inspire the next generation of confident, curious, and capable learners!
Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to connecting with you!
Melissa Tallman
M.S. Ed., Reading Specialist
