@ Hillside Elementary! 

The mission of the Elementary Reading Program in Loudoun County Public Schools is to teach all students how to read and comprehend written text so that they may become independent readers and lifelong learners. 

The primary responsibilities of reading specialists in  Loudoun County Public Schools are to coordinate the school's reading program and to support all readers. Reading specialists meet with small groups of students, provide professional development for classroom teachers through Pathways trainings and literacy coaching, coordinate assessment programs and serve as a resource to teachers and parents to support reading instruction in the K-5 elementary curriculum.
