Reading Specialist

Hi! My name is Bridget Hoadley and I have lived in the Charlottesville area with my husband and 3 children for over 20 years. I received my undergraduate degree in education from Clarion University in Pennsylvania.  In 2011, I graduated with a Master of Education from James Madison University with a reading specialist endorsement.

I have 19 years of teaching experience. I was employed by Greene County Public Schools for the last 13 years as a reading specialist. I have had training in several reading programs over the years that I implemented with my students in small groups and one-on-one reading instruction. 
I am also trained in the Orton-Gillingham multi-sensory approach to reading. This program uses explicit, direct, sequential, systematic, and multi-sensory instruction to teach reading in a one-on-one setting. I use this reading approach to plan and implement differentiated lessons tailored to each child's specific reading needs. 

I’m excited to have the opportunity to provide a reading intervention program through Small Talk Pediatric Therapy Center.
