About Literacy Mix...

...........................................................Becky Koesel

Becky is a national literacy consultant that has been in education for 26 years. She has worked with teachers as a consultant, mentor, and coach for the past 20 years to develop literate classrooms where the voices of learners are heard through reading, conversations and writing. Growing up as an at-risk student in Texas has given her insight in creating a classroom where learners from all backgrounds find a place in which they can grow and feel strong as learners. She is the mother of five children ranging from ages 17 to 34, which gives her an interesting and realistic perspective about literacy instruction in schools today. In September of 2017 she and her husband welcomed their first grandchild with books galore!
