All About Wiley Blevins:
Author, travel-lover, and expert in all things literacy.
Comes from a history of grandparents who were illiterate - books were not a part of his everyday life. It was these limitations that encouraged him to perform well in school and learn to read.
When he began teaching, he didn't know how to teach reading, so he had to do his own mini studies in his classroom.
This led him to graduate school at Harvard where he learned how children learned to read.
His educational journey led him to work with and learn from people like Jeanne Chall, Marylin Adams, and Louisa Moats.
With their expertise, he took their research and knowledge and applied it to his own classroom, made it practical, tested out nuances, and talked about how we can better help our students.
