About The Author
Loretta Woodruff Rodgers
Loretta Woodruff Rodgers currently resides in her hometown of Birmingham, Alabama, where she spends her days gardening, reading, writing, taking long walks, and getting closer to God.
She was born during the segregated late 1940s and was nurtured by her village to become an outstanding teacher of reading and writing for both children and adults. Consider this remarkable as her third-grade teacher had informed her mother that Loretta was dyslexic. When her mother asked what was to be done, the teacher said, ‘Don’t worry, she’ll figure it out!” And she did.
Her career of guiding students to experience the joys of reading and writing began as a teacher with Chicago Public Schools and culminated as a Professor with the Dallas Community Colleges in Dallas, Texas. She was recognized at Eastfield College for her contributions to literacy and visual arts scholarship after coauthoring a textbook, “College Reading Series “, with John Garcia.
