Welcome to Mrs. Turner's Class Page
My name is Candace Turner and I am looking forward to helping children get the literacy instruction they need to succeed in school—and life.
I am a reading resource teacher who will be working with students who need extra support in reading. Students are provided targeted instruction for 30 minutes four days a week in the five components of reading: phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension. Students are served in small groups to assist in individualizing instruction and to enhance students’ ability for success.
My goal is to create a comfortable environment for students to become motivated and excited to read. I will work with teachers to supplement and extend you child's reading. Finally I want your child to gain confidence in his/her reading ability and be able to enjoy reading.
Education
I recieved my Bachelor's Degree in Education from Missouri State University. I also have my Master's Degree in Educational Administration from Lindenwood University.
Family
I live in Waynesville with my husband Scott, who is also a teacher, my giant dog Jake, and my sweet cat Sammie. We also have two adopted/stray cats, Kitty and Felix, that are now are family too. As you can tell I am an animal lover.
