“Sometimes it’s just about giving students a choice to find that one story or book that sparks their love of reading.”
For Zwink Elementary Literacy Coach Ms. Kylie Zessin, that belief is more than an educational philosophy; it’s a lesson she learned firsthand.
In light of International Literacy Day, Ms. Zessin’s journey serves as a reminder of the life-changing impact literacy can have on a child. Today, she coaches teachers, analyzes student growth, and helps young readers build confidence, but her own path to literacy wasn’t always easy.
