Reading with Mrs. Rizzo - 6th Grade.
A Little Bit About Me!
I have been a teacher in the Capital District since 1998. I've been fortunate throughout the years to teach multiple grade levels (Birth through 12th grade), as well as, utilizing both my degrees in Reading & Special Education. I am blessed to be able to have a job I am passionate about and continue to grow in professionally. After staying home to raise my four children, I am pleased to now be working at Hackett Middle School as one of the Tier 3 reading teachers! I look forward to working with the students, parents and community to help students reach their fullest potential. Thank you for joining me in this journey to help ALL students succeed.
Sincerely, Christine Rizzo Reading Teacher - Hackett Middle School Reach my at: [email protected] #518-475-6475 ext.32303 Defining Service: Tier 3 reading support is the most intensive intervention in RTI (Response to Intervention). Students in tier 3 receive reading 5x a week. Through multiple measured assessments, the data is analyzed and students are given opportunities to work on areas of need, as well as, enhance their overall reading and writing. “Once you learn to read, you will be forever free.” — Frederick Douglass |
