My name is Kimberly DeLorenzo, I am one of two Reading Specialists here at Lime Kiln Intermediate School! This is my third year at Lime Kiln, and I am very excited to start the year with all of our amazing students at Lime Kiln! 

What's my role as a reading specialist?

As a reading specialist my role is to provide extra support for struggling readers, which might be done in small groups, or one-on-one instruction. This year I will be primarily working with the 4th grade students and some of the 6th grade students as well. I will be supporting the students within the classroom during their ELA block and targeting specific reading skills and strategies to support children in the New York State Common Core Learning Standards during small group intervention in a pull out session.

 Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions!
