| Hello, I'm Connie Bryant. Currently, I am a Reading Recovery and Title I teacher. After teaching first grade for several years, I decided to become a Reading Specialist. Helping children learn to read is so much fun! I am a HOKIE! My bachelors degree is from Virginia Tech. I received my Masters in Reading from Radford University. In my spare time, I love to read, cross-stitch, and garden. |
