Assistant Site Coordinator

Joanie Alley joined Reading Power in 2004. She is a reading specialist with a Master of Science in Education – Reading degree from the University of Wisconsin in Madison, where she also received her Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education, K-8 certification (which included a semester of student teaching in Exeter, England).

Joanie’s classroom experience includes several years as a second grade teacher.  On a mission trip to Chennai, India, she was asked to hold seminars in their schools to help teachers teach reading.

“I joined Reading Power because I feel so privileged to be a part of an organization that cares not only about the importance of early literacy, but for the well-being of each child with whom we work. It is beyond rewarding to help our students achieve a new-found confidence as they come to experience the joy of reading!”
