Inspired by every learner.
Hello, I’m Whitney.
A teacher, a tutor, and a believer in the little moments that make learning come alive.
My work in Boston Public Schools and my experiences visiting Reggio Emilia schools in Italy have shaped how I think about learning: with curiosity, connection, and room for children’s ideas.
Grow A Reader brings that spirit to beginning reading and writing—and to a growing collection of ideas for families and fellow educators.
