About Janet Jenkins


Mrs. Janet Jenkin's research interests center on helping children become confident, engaged readers who can make meaningful connections with text. She is particularly interested in the role of executive function and cognitive flexibility in reading comprehension and in how different instructional approaches, including print, digital, and hybrid formats, support students’ learning. As an instructor, she values creating a welcoming and supportive classroom community where students feel encouraged to learn, ask questions, and grow. She strives to connect research to practice by using evidence-based instructional strategies and preparing future teachers with the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to support every child in becoming a successful reader.
