Mrs. Calderon

Hi, I’m Dana Calderon, a reading specialist with 18 years of experience helping students turn the page toward a brighter future—literally! I’ve spent nearly two decades guiding learners of all ages and backgrounds to discover the joy of reading, build confidence, and develop the skills they need to thrive. Whether it’s cracking the code of phonics or diving into a great story, I believe every student deserves the chance to feel successful and excited about literacy. I use fun, research-based strategies to make reading come alive in the classroom, one word at a time. There’s nothing better than watching a student go from “I can’t” to “I love this book!”—that’s the magic I get to be part of every day.
