Justin Levy is excited to begin his fifth year teaching at Tucker Maxon School and the
opportunity provided by the Book Love Foundation to help students elevate their literacy.
Between reading competitions like the Oregon Battle of Books and making time in class for
pressure-free silent reading, it is fair to say that books are important in Mr. Levy’s classroom.
Books may provide either a window into new experiences or a mirror to better understand one’s
own experience. Justin is eager to revamp his classroom library to better meet the needs and
interests of all sorts of students.

Justin earned his MAT from Lewis and Clark College in 2018 and lives in Portland, Oregon with
his wife and two dachshunds. In addition to teaching and reading, Justin likes to spend his time
playing Magic: The Gathering, skateboarding and playing and listening to music.
