What is your background?
I have Masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction as a Reading Specialist as well as Educational Leadership from Southeastern Louisiana University. I worked as a teacher, instructional coach, assistant principal, and principal in the elementary school and middle school settings.
What is your favorite childhood book or literacy memory?
I can fondly remember my mother reading The Pokey Little Puppy to me over and over, as well as singing with me as a young girl. Oral literacy development is so important for early readers.
Flashback to when you were 10 years old, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I always knew I wanted to be a teacher- never any doubt in my mind what I wanted to do.
If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you be?
My kids keep me busy but I do have an online boutique called LeighLain, I love helping women feel beautiful on the outside to help their inner beauty shine through!
