Nora Gaydos has more than ten years of experience teaching kindergarten, first grade, third grade, and fourth grade. She has a comprehensive understanding of how beginning readers develop from pre-readers to independent readers. As a teacher, she was inspired to create the Now I'm Reading! program after seeing firsthand how children learn to read. Her goal was to build a series that was fun, motivating, and "just right" for beginning readers. Visit www.nowimreading.com to learn more about Nora Gaydos and the Now I'm Reading! series.  .
