As a college student, Josh developed an interest in neuroscience, psychology and linguistics and spent most of his time interning on various research projects across these fields. A job managing a language development laboratory revealed his passion for working with children, and he soon began teaching elementary school. Under the mentorship of a veteran learning specialist, Josh's interests coalesced into a career in early literacy. After several years teaching as a literacy specialist and completing a master's in literacy, Josh moved out of the school setting to work as Program Director at CUNY Reading Corps, where he trained college students, graduate students, teachers and Universal Literacy coaches in research-based reading interventions. He is grateful to bring his experience to the community setting in his work with LINC.Laura Walsh, Chief Program Officer is a seasoned leader in the non-profit sector and a dedicated literacy specialist with a Master’s Degree in Special Education and Literacy from St. John’s University. With deep expertise in early literacy, adult learning theory, and educator training, she has spent her career championing equity through literacy access for all—starting with our youngest learners. Laura has trained Universal Literacy Coaches across New York City and served as a Program Manager for the Literacy Trust, where she worked to strengthen early literacy initiatives. Currently, as Chief Program Officer at Literacy Inc. (LINC), she leads innovative programs that invest in children, families, and entire communities—including educators—to create a culture of reading. LINC's Professional Development Info session on Weds, April 9th at 6pm https://zoom.us/meeting/register/kxsbUU4ARCaz80IHv1a32QEmail contact:[email protected]@lincnyc.orghttps://www.lincnyc.org/  Send us Fan MailDecodify is a supplemental, structured literacy toolkit that allows for reading practice in an engaging, purposeful, and educational format.
