Ms. Chappell's Reading Realm

Welcome to my page! I'm Karla Chappell, lover of books, coffee, crosswords and carbs, mother, boisterous laugher, Christ follower, and passionate teacher. My philosophy of teaching and sharing books can be summed up in this one quote from the Ted talk on your left:

"I read because living one life is just not enough." April Qu

I hope to inspire you (or your child) to love reading, to embrace the many concepts and functionalities of reading, and to meet great authors, lands, and ideas through text exploration.
