Welcome to Literacy Learners Express! My name is Denise Distel and I am from New York State and have been a Highly Qualified Reading/Literacy Specialist for the past seventeen years. Prior to that I have had various experiences teaching in classrooms as a teacher, co-teacher, mentor, a Regional Support Literacy Coach with Reading First, and a Literacy Volunteer of America.
I am Certified in Both Elementary Education/History and Reading Education in both New York State and Florida.
I graduated cum laude from the State University of New Paltz with a degree in History and Elementary Education and earned a Master of Reading Education (K-12) with highest honors from the City University of New York at Queen's College and was inducted into the National Honor Society for Education: Kappa Delta Pi.
Over the years, I have worked with diverse populations of students as a Classroom Teacher, a Reading Specialist, and Reading First Regional Reading Specialist. I am a member of the International Reading Association and am a Literacy Volunteer of America.
Through my experiences I have found many valuable resources for students, parents and teachers that I am sharing with you here at Literacy Learners Express. So hop aboard and explore!
