“Read all about me, Sadie, below!”
Welcome to Alphabetic Principles - Foundations for Success!
Hi, I’m Sadie! I am a much loved fur baby. I am really sweet and inquisitive. I am a friendly kitty, but usually shy at first. I love to hear about my mommy’s classes, and the different worksheets and activities she creates. I would love to meet everyone. So be on the lookout for me. When I am feeling shy, I am hidden my mommy’s ads. So, you will have to look real closely for me! If you find me, you can get discounts and freebies from my mom and Alphabetic Principles.

"As an Orton-Gillingham instructor, I know the importance of learning ways to increase fluency in spelling and reading with multisyllabic words. I have been working with children of various abilities and ages using what I have learned about the science of reading. I am an avid reader, so I understand the magic of stories.”
“Reading is a passport to countless adventures.” ~Mary Pope Osborne (Magic Tree House Book Series).
My career:
My name is Caryn. I have nearly 30 years of experience as an educator. I studied Sociology and Early Childhood Education at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and earned my teaching license from Framingham State University. Throughout my career I have gained experience teaching a variety of age groups, (pre-school-high school), individually, small group, as a classroom teacher, and a homeschool teacher.
As an educator, I worked with students with a variety of abilities and disabilities, including ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, language disorders, and English Language Learners. I provided individualized instruction, for students of all ages, in an acute care psychiatric facility. During my time in the classroom, I had a variety of trainings and classes on the Science of Reading, different reading programs, and the implementation of various literacy assessments. I was hired as a math liaison to coordinate math curriculum, assessments, and school programs for students and teachers in kindergarten through 3rd grade, in my district. I also have the Massachusetts Sheltered English Immersion Endorsement.
Several years ago, I started Alphabetic Principles to provide individual academic support to students ranging from kindergarten through high school, in phonemic awareness, reading comprehension and fluency, writing, and math fluency. I received extensive training in Orton-Gillingham and Dyscalculia interventions for all age groups. I have provided support for students who receive speech and language therapy in a private practice, and also worked with other educators to administer initial language and math assessments. I have also developed classes and curriculum for small groups of homeschoolers.
I live in Massachusetts with my family. During my free time, I enjoy reading and watching movies.
