My name is Wendy Elvin-Thomas and the Title I Reading Teacher/Specialist for grades 5-6. This is my twenty-sixth year in teaching and my thirteenth in Nazareth. Prior to working for Nazareth, I taught for fourteen years in Bedminster, New Jersey as a 4-6 grade teacher and worked with the Council for Exceptional Students to promote inclusion in the classroom.  I hold a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction, Reading Specialist Certification, Pre K-12 and Principal Certification, Pre K-12 from Moravian College (University) and the state of Pennsylvania. I am currently finishing up my last semester toward certification in Special Education, Pre K-12. My passion is working with students to provide them with the tools they need to be successful readers and writers.
