My name is Wendy Rufa and I currently teach ELA in grades 5 & 6 at Morristown Central school. I have been in the field of education for about 30 years, and am going into my 27th year at MCS. Throughout my career I’ve taught almost all grades 3-12, and spent 7 years as a K-3 Reading Coach. I read the first edition of this book during my coaching years and have been a faithful follower of Kylene Beers since then. Needless to say, I am thrilled for this opportunity to share this journey with fellow educators.
