Welcome to the Reading Department Website

 

My name is Diane Ludwig and I am the reading teacher and department leader at Andover High School.  This is my 23rd year of teaching, and I am proud to say that I have been part of the Andover High School community since the school opened in 2002.  This year, I will be working with our striving readers both in and out their content-area classrooms; I will also work alongside teachers to incorporate additional complex texts and challenging reading tasks in disciplinary classrooms.  It is truly a pleasure to help prepare your child to be college, career, and life ready!

 

I graduated from the University of St. Thomas with a teaching degree in English and a minor in Spanish.  Though I absolutely love learning and teaching English, I soon realized that I have an equal passion for working with striving readers.  Thus, I began taking courses in teaching secondary reading at the University of Minnesota.  I eventually enrolled in a formal program for reading licensure (grades k-12) through Hamline University.  I have also completed various courses at St. Cloud State University and St. Catherine's University.  Essentially, I love to learn and I strive to share that enthusiasm with my students.

 

After school, students can often find me tutoring in Husky House.  In my free time, I enjoy reading, fishing, making quilts, crocheting, and learning new things. 

 

Thank you for all of your support!  I am excited to have the opportunity to work with you and your child this year!!
