We are so excited to welcome Donna Hejtmanek to our podcast! Donna is the founder of the Facebook page, Science of Reading- What I Should Have Learned in College.
She is also a retired special education teacher and reading specialist. In our conversation, Donna talks about what led her to form the Facebook group, how it supports teachers and parents, and how it developed into the incredible resource it is today with over 230,000 members! She also shares with us her efforts to disseminate what has been learned from scientific research on how children learn to read and write so that it is accessible to our childrens' teachers, her advocacy locally and at the state level for students with dyslexia, and her thoughts on shifting practices in colleges of education. Our conversation ends with Donna's advice to parents on being your child's advocate. Listen in now to this inspiring conversation!
