I am a literacy consultant who focuses on writing workshop. I've been working with K-6 teachers and students since 2009. Prior to that, I was a fourth and fifth-grade teacher in New York City and Rhode Island.
I'm the author of Craft Moves (Stenhouse Publishers, 2016) and the co-author of Jump Into Writing (Zaner-Bloser, 2021), Welcome to Writing Workshop (Stenhouse Publishers, 2019), and Day By Day (Stenhouse, 2010).
I live in Central Pennsylvania with my husband and children. In my free time, I enjoy swimming, doing Pilates, cooking, baking, making ice cream, and reading novels.

yes, two days late, but I was having serious computer problems. Here are my thoughts on a short French film, one of those nominated for the Academy Awards in the live action short film category. If you can see them in your area, don’t miss them — and I think they’re also available on PBS. http://redemma1991.blogspot.com/2017/02/sol-tuesday-2-days-late-short-film-from.html
Hi. I am thinking of participating in the SOL challenge. I have taught a third grade writer’s circle for six years. I am a non-formal educator. Primarily, I have two questions. 1) Do you have to be a classroom teacher to participate? and 2) How should I name my blog? Just my given name or something more creative? I would appreciate knowing the answers to these questions. Thanks!
This is my first attempt at blogging. Not sure if I’m doing this right but I’m willing to make mistakes and learn as I go! Challenge accepted. https://coachrachele.wordpress.com/
