My name is Lisa Stohlman. I am excited about being a Reading Specialist at Cardinal Ridge Elementary School. This is my thirteenth year teaching. Previously, I served as a Reading Specialist at a Title I School in Sterling Park and before that, I was a Reading Specialist in Manassas Park for nine years. I love to teach reading, learn the latest research, and share it with our scholars' parents and my colleagues. I am a Science of Reading fanatic! Prior, I was a Resource Teacher serving students with different learning disabilities at a K-8 private school. Recently, I became trained in Orton Gillingham’s Multisensory Approach to Reading through the Virginia Department of Education. I also earned the recognition of National Board Certified Teacher in 2019. I love to learn and grow both as a teacher and as a person. I am from Scranton, Pennsylvania and moved to Virginia in 2009 for my first teaching job at a Montessori School. Recently, I moved to South Riding with my husband, who is a middle school teacher, and our fun-loving four-year-old son Gabriel, whom we call Gabe. I love exploring new places and making happy memories with my family. Go Redwings! Remember your Greatness!
