GREGORY BROWN

Gregory is a reading specialist who teaches in his home state of North Carolina. After nearly two decades in public instruction, he still feels like there's something new to learn and accomplish every single day. Gregory received both his Theater Arts and Masters in Elementary Education degrees from East Carolina University. When he also became certified in reading and trained in Reading Recovery, he realized that writing Readers Theater scripts was one of the best ways to help his students become fluent readers and improve their self-esteem. Having been insecure about his own reading abilities as a young boy, he now lives out a childhood dream by helping all kids feel more comfortable with books. He credits his loving family and friends for encouraging him to "follow the rhymes in his heart".
