Corinne Owens - Title I Reading Teacher

My name is Corinne Owens and I'm a Title I reading teacher at JCE.  This is my 27th year as an elementary education teacher.  I began my career as a 4th grade teacher in Birmingham, Alabama where I taught for 3 years. After that, I moved back to Jacksonville, NC where  I began teaching at JCE in 2nd grade for 8 years.  I decided to become a Title I reading teacher at JCE where I have been involved in the program for the past 16 years.  I've worked with all grades reinforcing ELA skills and strategies in a small group setting. My goal is to provide our students with additional ways to grow as a reader so they too will develop the LOVE for reading.
