Hello my name is Kristin Soule, and I am a second grade teacher here at the Paul School.
I've worked here at the Paul School for seven years and have taught Kindergarten and
Second Grade.

Here is Nessie, my trained therapy dog

About Me

My professional credentials include: Bachelors in Elementary Education from the University of Maine at Orono, and a Masters of Education in Literacy and the Teaching of Writing from Plymouth State University. I have my reading and writing specialist certification from the New Hampshire Department of Education. I am also a certified Orton Gillingham tutor from the International Multisensory Structured Language Education Council. As an Orton Gillingham tutor, I work with children and young adults with Dyslexia in order to help them acquire and practice the skills needed for reading; such as: decoding, spelling, fluency, comprehension, and phonemic awareness.

In my free time I love to volunteer at the local library with my reading therapy dog, Nessie (pictured above). I also love to spend my time training and showing my two awesome dogs in the areas of obedience and rally.

Educational Philosophy
My educational philosophy is to create a loving and caring community within the classroom in order to foster social emotional and academic learning and growth. I use Responsive Classroom to help students feel welcome and safe in our class by meeting their social and emotional needs. With my Orton Gillingham training, I have learned many multisensory approaches for helping children learn early literacy skills in a fun and meaningful way.
