Corinne Owens - Title I Reading Teacher

My name is Corinne Owens and I'm a Title I reading teacher at JCE.  This is my 31st year as an elementary education teacher.  I began my career as a 4th grade teacher in Birmingham, Alabama, where I taught for 3 years.  I then 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 and have been involved in the program for the past 20 years. I enjoy working with all grade levels, reinforcing ELA skills and reading strategies in a small group setting. My goal is to provide my students with additional support as they grow into readers and develop a LOVE of reading.

Family:

I've been married for 30 years and have 3 children, a daughter who is 27 and a graduate from ECU, a daughter who is 25 and a graduate from UNCC, and a son who is 17 and in 12th grade at JHS. When I am not teaching I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, going to the beach, shopping, exercising, going to the movies, traveling, and of course READING!
