About Me
My name is Kaitlyn Benavides, and I am the Rocky Fork Middle School Librarian! My Master's Degree is in Library Sciences from MTSU, and I have an Ed.S Degree from Lipscomb University as a Reading Specialist.
My professional goal is to inspire students to develop a passion for reading and a general fascination and curiosity for the world around them. Research shows us that free choice, independent reading improves vocabulary, background knowledge, and ultimately reading comprehension. These skills lead to academic success across every content area, and even success beyond the classroom. I am passionate about getting the "right" book in the hands of the "right" child at the "right" time in their lives. This exact recipe can have a long lasting impact on a young person. If you can think of any way I can help you on your reading journey, do not hesitate to reach out! [email protected] @RFMlibrary |
