Elizabeth "Betsy" Keith

Literacy Intervention Teacher

About Me:

I am so excited to be in my 10th year at Colfax! Over the years I’ve taught ECE, kindergarten (including Zoom kindergarten, which I don’t miss!) and now reading intervention. In addition to teaching, I get to support our teachers through coaching and professional development. I really love being a part of this community of learners.

As a reading interventionist, I work with students who need extra support to catch up on literacy skills. I pull small groups from different classrooms to work on skills students may be missing and provide some extra practice. I have always been a bookworm, and I’m passionate about supporting students to find ways to love reading too. I know that every child can learn to read fluently and feel successful with reading and writing, and I really appreciate being part of that journey for so many of our students.

When I’m not teaching, I enjoy gardening, dancing, hiking, and fiber crafts like knitting, spinning yarn, weaving, and sewing.
