Sarah DeCraene works as a reading intervention teacher in an intermediate (grades 5-6) setting in southeast Wisconsin. Sarah has previously worked as a sixth grade special education teacher, and as a program manager at an adult literacy center in Milwaukee. In previous graduate work, Sarah researched project based learning and technology in both the adult education setting and in the intermediate setting. She has also examined research about possible alternatives for reading intervention that might boost engagement and growth, featuring alternate texts, shared reading, and the incorporation of play. Sarah is passionate about all things reading and writing, both as a scholar and teacher and as a person who finds joy in reading and writing. Recently, Sarah has explored and learned a lot about serving students with dyslexia (and their families) with coursework in certificates in dyslexia (2026). Sarah may explore more research about enhancing understanding about the construct of fluency in the multi-component understanding of decoding and encoding. Sarah is delighted to be part of the first cohort in the Language and Literacy doctoral program at UWSP.
