On Your Way is a podcast created to equip teachers who are on their way to using science-driven practices in their classrooms . . . while they’re on their way to work.

With each podcast, Dr. Christy shares practical, bite-sized teaching tips that are sure to make lasting, positive impacts within any instructional setting where beginning or struggling readers and writers are being served.

Teachers have a lot on their plates. On Your Way helps educators to cut the fluff and to get really intentional about helping kids to master the essentials (with a strong focus on FUN--for the teachers AND the kids they're serving) while moving students from struggling to soaring, fast!

A "whole child" approach to education focuses on a child's physical, mental, and social-emotional health, and though our focus is primarily on early literacy instruction, you're sure to come away better equipped and inspired to support the children you serve with each episode of On Your Way.

Dr. Christy served for thirty years in public education teaching first, second, third, and fourth grades; teaching reading intervention with fifth and sixth graders, teaching graduate students at a local university as an adjunct professor, and teaching teachers and students at Book Bums, a thriving tutoring center she opened in 2005 to extend her reach beyond the classroom setting.

Today, after retiring, Dr. Christy and her team serve hundreds of families each week through multiple Book Bums tutoring locations, working alongside The Faith Alliance, a local nonprofit organization that strives to alleviate local poverty and demonstrate Christian love by equipping struggling students to read and spell well, and by serving through contract work with a large local school district.

We hope to serve you well, too, with the new On Your Way podcast.
