Hi! My name is Marie Rippel. I am a reading and spelling tutor, and truly enjoy teaching. I hail from northern Wisconsin, where I live with my husband and two children (ages 15 and 17), who are homeschooled.

I am a strong believer in building a firm foundation for literacy. To help teachers and parents teach solid phonetic concepts, I developed the spelling series, All About Spelling.

My goal as editor of the Reading site at Bella Online is to assemble tools that can help you help others with reading. Topics to be covered will include teaching young children, helping students who need remedial reading help, and encouraging a love for reading.

Literacy is a gift that can affect a person´s entire life, and I support you in your endeavors to help others reach their potential in this important area.
