About Me 

I’m Dr. Vanessa Williams, an educator, reading specialist, and instructional leader dedicated to supporting upper elementary literacy growth through consistent, school-based intervention.

With experience spanning classroom teaching, instructional leadership, and campus support, I’ve worked closely with students, teachers, and administrators to address one of the most persistent challenges schools face: providing reliable reading intervention without adding staffing strain.

Through Williams Literacy Partnerships, I partner with campuses to deliver weekly, on-site reading intervention for students in grades 3–5, using a structured, flexible model that adapts to student needs across the school year. My work is grounded in the belief that consistency, clarity, and responsive instruction are essential for meaningful literacy growth.

I hold a Doctorate in Education and a Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction, bringing both research-based knowledge and practical, school-based experience to every partnership. My approach is intentional, data-informed, and student-centered, with a focus on building strong instructional routines and targeted small-group support.

In addition to my work in schools, I am also a children’s book author, using storytelling to encourage confidence, growth, and perseverance in young readers. This lens informs my instructional work—helping students see themselves as capable, growing readers.

Whether a campus is looking to strengthen comprehension, improve fluency, or provide consistent literacy intervention for students who need extra support, my goal is the same: to serve as a reliable literacy partner who helps schools support students effectively and sustainably.
