About me
Claudia Crespo Lee, Ph.D., began her educational career almost twelve years ago. In 2010, she entered the arena of being a classroom teacher with a bachelor's degree in early childhood education and a master's degree in reading. Dr. Crespo Lee taught pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, second grade and third grade. During this time she completed her educational specialist in reading and moved out of the classroom and into the positions of being a reading specialist and dyslexia interventionist. As Dr. Crespo Lee grew as an elementary educator focused on reading, she moved to the position of K-12 district R.I.S.E and dyslexia coordinator. In 2021, she graduated from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock with a Ph.D. in reading. Her dissertation titled, "The Relationship Between Derivational Morphology and Reading Comprehension for Spanish-Speaking Language Minority Students in Fifth Grade", was nominated for the Herbert M. Handley Outstanding Dissertation of 2021.
