Lower Dauphin High School

 

I am thrilled to be a new member of the Lower Dauphin High School community! Originally from New York, I graduated from St. Petersburg College in St. Petersburg Florida with a B.S. in Elementary Education. Upon graduation, I moved to the Gettysburg area where I taught for six years. I continued my education at Mount St. Mary's University in Maryland where I received a Master of Education in Reading.

 

During the 2014-2015 school year, I am teaching  Comprehension I along with Decoding I and II.

 

The Comprehension I classes focus on:

* Incorporating before, during and after reading strategies to improve comprehension

* Improving reading habits through independent reading of fictional and non-fictional texts

* Reflective journal writing 

* Improving paraphrasing and summarizing strategies

 

The Decoding I and II classes focus on:

* Using phonics knowledge to improve decoding and word recognition

* Improving fluency 

* Incorporating before, during and after reading strategies to improve comprehension

* Reflective journal writing

 

If you should have any questions or concerns during the school year, please contact me at lgoodman@ldsd.org.

 

I am looking forward to a fantastic year!
