Meet the Author
JoAnn Flammer is a freelance writer and a retired elementary teacher. She lives in Adirondack, NY with her husband, Lee. They raised three beautiful daughters, Kathie, Sandi, & Debbie, and have been blessed with four delightful grandchildren: Brianna, Kristina, Andrew and Amber. They recently gained two step-grandchildren, Kristyn and Alex. The girls, grandchildren, and spouses (Dan & Rich) continue to reside on Long Island.
For the past twenty years, JoAnn has been writing teaching ideas and strategies for The Education Center’s Mailbox Magazines.She also published a parent page for summer reading in Frank Schaffer’s Schooldays. She recently published Giving Your Child an Edge: A Parenting Handbook filled with tips and strategies for parents who want to boost their children’s learning ability, especially in reading and writing, so they will experience academic success.
JoAnn's teaching certifications include grades N-6, English 7-12, and Reading K-12. Her passion teaching struggling readers led her to write a short chapter book about a boy who wishes his younger sister into a dragon’s cave. The Last Wish has large print and less than seventy pages so frustrated readers are not overwhelmed and independent readers will delight. Young readers will eagerly decode familiar words they have heard but not seen, thus building their reading vocabulary and strengthening reading skills as they share in the character’s adventurous journey to rescue his sister.
