Mrs. Melanie Taylor
Hello, I am Melanie Taylor. I am a Harnett County native. I attended South Harnett (when it was an elementary school), Anderson Creek (when it was a middle school) and graduated from Western Harnett High School. I am proud to support and work for Harnett County Schools. I followed in the footsteps of my mother who was also a teacher for Harnett County Schools. I used to grade her papers and teach school to my dolls and anyone who would sit still. I began my teaching career in 1996 at Anderson Creek Primary teaching first grade. After 12 years, I decided to be trained as a Reading Recovery teacher and I have been teaching reading for 10 years.
Being a Reading Recovery teacher allows me to work closely with those students in first grade who struggle the most in reading and writing. I provide individualized instruction based on the needs of the student in order to help them to meet grade level expectations. This is a very rewarding job and I love watching the students grow as readers and writers.
