Just wrapped up an energizing week at #LRA2025. Grateful for the conversations, questions, and generous engagement with my presentation on generative AI and reading intervention planning. I’m leaving inspired by the community and excited for the next phase of this work.

Proud to share our new Reading Teacher article: “Not Magic but Manageable.”
It looks at how teachers use generative AI as a dialogic tool during structured reading intervention planning.
