Share the Love..... of Reading

Laurie Vance has been in teaching for over twenty five years.  Educated at Wheelock College, Boston College, and post-grad work at University of New Hampshire, Laurie appreciates the value of professional development.  Therefore, she continues her study at Teacher's College: Reading Writing Institutes and Lesley University: Center for Literacy.  

Currently a fourth grade teacher in Nashua, Laurie's experience includes special education, grades fourth through six classroom, and working alongside colleagues to strengthen literacy instruction.  As a National Writing Project Fellow and trained literacy coach, Laurie serves as a professional development presenter for the Nashua School District, National Writing Project of NH, and previously with Education Northwest: originators of 6 +1 Trait Writing.

As a published co-author: Children's Guide to Worship, Laurie has a deep understanding for how the writing process relates to reading, research, writing, and collaboration.  These are the creative practices she strives to encourage with students and colleagues.  Now, Laurie celebrates a new project; working with colleagues to bring reading-writing opportunities into the heart of a child's home!  The Literacy Lending Library serves to strengthen curiosity, learning, and sense of community for Nashua’s families.
