Kiku Kimura’s story

Words in the Wild’s Teaching Fellows have a considerable impact on our community. Like, our early career Fellow alumni, Kiku Kimura:

In two years as a Fellow, Kiku turned a passion for teaching and great instincts into being able to lead a group of 18 wiggly kids under 9 years old through a morphology game with patience and playfulness. One highlight of Kiku’s experience was receiving a parent’s note that their middle-schooler moved out of the “red” (below the benchmark in reading) for the first time in his school career.
