Teen  Literacy Matters! 

Empower Young Readers

Our Dedication

Supporting literacy at home doesn’t require a formal curriculum. It just takes intentional moments reading together, encouraging self-expression, or exploring media critically.

Welcome to Teen Literacy Matters! a platform dedicated to providing valuable insights and support for teens and parents in nurturing a love for literacy.

 

Meet our passionate educator:

​

Hi! I’m Maggie O’Shea, a teacher with 17 years of classroom experience. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Special Education from Illinois State University and a Master’s in Literacy from the American College of Education. I live and work in the southwest suburbs of Chicago, where I’m also a proud mom to two amazing teens and two energetic dogs. My husband is also a teacher, and when I’m not in the classroom, you can find me reading, gardening, or relaxing at our family lake house.
