Introduction to Reasearch on Reading Blog

Welcome to my blog “Research on Reading.” Let me start by introducing you to the various hats I wear and how I came to this research on reading blog adventure! First, I am a child of God. You may encounter my faith in Jesus Christ in this very academic endeavor just because it is as natural to me as breathing. I am the founder of CAP Prep and cynthiahead.com, which works to serve families by improving core academics (i.e., reading). I have a loving husband and four children that support my big ideas like this. I teach or have taught English, Digital Arts, and A/V in a public high school. 
In addition to all that fun, I am an Ed.S. student at Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville, Tennessee. I wanted to help my students improve their ACT English and Reading scores, and that desire brought me to the topics of vocabulary acquisition, reading comprehension, and fluency on the ACT. I began this project as someone who had taught English for 10 years, so I thought I knew a few things. One week into this study proved to me that I had a lot to learn. I am excited to share this journey with you as I condense the pages and pages that I intend to consume in the next year.  

P.S. This picture of me was taken by one of my Digital Arts students this year. It makes my heart happy to think of the kiddo behind the photo.
