Lisa Teaches Reading

Hey there! I'm a 5th grade teacher from the western suburbs of Chicago. Since 2004, I've worked as a special education teacher, reading specialist, and classroom teacher at the elementary and middle school levels.

This channel shares literacy strategies that work for students who struggle with reading—especially those with executive functioning challenges, ADHD, disengagement, and other neurodiverse needs. Whether you're a teacher or a parent, you'll find practical, actionable solutions rooted in real classroom experience.

Let's help every reader thrive—no matter how their brain works.
