All About Elise Lovejoy:

  • Former teacher and currently serves as an probono interventionist at a nearby school.

  • Runs Express Readers, a foundational skills reading program as well as a decodable book series.

  • Passionate about the science of reading.

 

How did you get your start in education?

  • Teaching was always my calling - I loved playing “classroom” when I was younger. 

  • I went to Boston College and got my undergrad in elementary education with a focus on special education.  I have a special needs brother, so I was always interested in how to help kids like him.

  • I volunteered at the Campus School at Boston College, which is a school for children who have severe disabilities. 

  • From there, I left college and went into the classroom during which I got my masters.

  • Loved everything about teaching and had the same background as everyone else where I was a balanced literacy teacher and wanted to make reading fun.  But I found myself continually not knowing what to do or not understanding why it wasn’t clicking with some students.

  • Thankfully, I worked with a co-worker who was good with sounds and I threw myself into that idea.

  • I eventually came back to California and found a job, and was frustrated with reading materials I was given.
