Hello there!
Kim Tavares here, and this is my husband, Ralph, graduate of the Friends Academy class of 1993, and my sons, Maceo and Rafael (future Falcons)!
This is my seventh year at FA, and fourth year in SBP third grade. I was a Sally Borden Program Reading and Support Specialist prior, providing reading support using the Orton-Gillingham approach. Before coming to Friends, I spent seven years as a Special Education teacher in Massachusetts public schools.
I am so excited to be working with your children, and to bear witness to their growth all year long!

" If a child memorizes ten words, the child can only read ten words, but if the child learns the sounds of ten letters, the child will be able to read 350 three sound words, 4,320 four sound words, and 21, 650 five sound words." - Kozloff, 2002
