Dear PPMS parents and guardians,

I am the Read 180 Reading Specialist at Platte Purchase Middle School. My name is Erica Cook and I am from Ottumwa, Iowa. Even though I am an Iowan, Missouri is where I have settled. It's where I decided to go to college at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, MO. I graduated there with a Bachelor of Arts in English Education and a French Minor in December 2017. After graduation, I was hired mid-year to teach 6th grade ELA at Barry, and have been a part of the Barry staff until its transfer to PPMS. 

After completing my Master's Degree in the Science of Education of Reading at Northwest Missouri State University in May of 2021, I decided to pursue this new adventure of a reading specialist career. I was fortunate to have found an opening at Barry in 2022. I hope to be a great asset to the ELA department with my previous knowledge while giving extra support to the students who need reading interventions.
