Cheryl Hill

After having retired with forty years of experience as an educator, Cheryl E. Hill is a retired teacher-librarian. Reading literacy has always been first and foremost in whatever educational role the author served; whether as classroom teacher, reading specialist, English as a Second Language Specialist, or school librarian. The time has come for bringing the author's eclectic, explicit phonics method of successfully teaching reading to numerous children to the forefront to be shared with others so the precious gift of reading can continue to be gifted to children wherever they may be found!

Cheryl Hill's fellow teachers through their informal observations over time and through authentic experiences of having inherited or shared Mrs. Hill's students noted her success with teaching children of all backgrounds; no matter their academic abilities, no matter their ethnicity, rich or poor, native English speakers or non-native English speakers, one certainty, after having been taught by Mrs. Hill, all the children learned to read successfully!

Mrs. Hill's fellow teachers offered their compliments in the coining of the following phrase: "Mrs. Hill can teach a dog to read!"

Quote from the author:

"The library chased me and finally captured me! Wrapping me in the final piece of reading literacy occurring after children have learned to read! The ultimate goal after children have learned to read becomes growing readers to read lots of books! Therefore, at the end of the rainbow, culminating in truly gifting the gift of reading is encouraging and motivating children to read lots of great literature so children become lifelong readers and learners because all learning flows from reading!"
