Rhonda Pendergrass

        

I am Rhonda Pendergrass, literacy coach here at Mathews.  I obtained my undergraduate degree from Lander University and my Masters in Education with an emphasis in reading and literacy from Walden University.  I am married to Jay Pendergrass and have two wonderful sons, Larkin and Jones, who attend Greenwood 50 public schools.    

 

I have had the privilege of working at Mathews as the literacy coach for the last two years.  As I enter my third year I am so excited about the reading and writing instruction taking place at Mathews.  Mathews has fabulous teachers who are committed to providing the best reading and writing curriculum possible.  We use a balanced literacy approach that is researched based.  My job is to be a resource to the teachers for any literacy needs.  I model lessons, help team teach, and provide literacy workshops as well as find materials needed for instruction.  We have some great things happening at Mathews.  Please come any time to see what we are doing in reading and writer’s workshop.

 

Stay tuned for some tips for home and plans for another wonderful family literacy night.
