Welcome to Misty Bussell's accelerated reading instruction. In 1999, I began my teaching career teaching first grade. Then I had the good fortune to come to Gorman and teach fourth grade language arts for the past six years. This year I made a change and moved over to the rock building to work with the accelerated reading instruction program with Martha Harrington. One of my hopes in receving my master's degree in education and endorsements such as the Professional Reading Specialist and Master Reading Teacher was to work specifically in a reading program such as ARI. I look forward to an exciting and successful year.
