Episode 013 - Literacy Now - Kait Feriante

Summary

​We are excited to bring you this fascinating conversation with Kait Feriante. Kait is the co-founder of Redwood Schools (Chicago), which include two full-day K-8 schools for students with dyslexia, and a program for young adults who are court-involved who struggle with reading and writing.  Kait is also a former Chicago Public Schools teacher and parent of a child with dyslexia.  Kait shares with us her perspective gained through all of these roles. Listen in as we delve into topics including the lack of preparation for reading instruction by colleges of education, collaborating with your child's school team and advocating for their educational needs, data collection, and assistive technology.  Kait also talks about the work of the Redwood Schools and the success of their programs, as well as the success of the Lawndale program despite incredible odds. Don't miss this important conversation!
