I had a surprising request this week... A young adult contacted me about tutoring services. He had reached out to several online tutors for help with his spelling, and I was the only one who responded. I asked if he had time for a virtual call, and he quickly joined.

She knows I support struggling readers and writers and she asked me if I knew about the Libby App. I didn't, so she took the time to go over it and I was convinced that THIS could be another tool to help support my students. I sat on the information wondering...
