As a title teacher , Baylor works with kindergarten and first-grade struggling readers . Trained in reading recovery , she said this program has changed her outlook on how to teach reading and views it as giving back to the community . She teaches self-monitoring skills to encourage readers to learn how to help themselves . She teaches students based upon what their strengths are in terms of learning how to read . In small groups of four or fewer students , she encourages students to talk about the story and how they relate to one of the characters .
When a student is stuck on a tricky word , oftentimes , as soon as they talk about the story and check the first letter of the word , it “ pops ” right out of their mouth .
Baylor said , “ It is exciting to see the students ’ growth and to see them use self-monitoring skills .”
Baylor hopes to remain as a title teacher for years to come .
Baylor enjoys being involved in her two daughters ’ activities . Over the years her daughters have participated in several activities such as gymnastics , dance , soccer , swim and tennis . Her daughters have swam for Rising Tide , middle school swim , CHS swim and a club swim in Zanesville .
Baylor loves taking pictures at all of these events . She and her family also have volunteered for several years with the Coshocton Elks Lodge . Alongside her fatherin-law , James Baylor , her family always helps
