In rural Ohio, a former public school teacher launches a literacy-rich microschool

from LiberatED Podcast · host Kerry McDonald

Today's guest is Pam Frankforther, founder of Pioneer Reading Center in Wayne, Ohio. Pam left her job as a longtime public school teacher this year to launch Pioneer as full-time microschool for students with dyslexia and other learning differences. She was motivated to create a science-backed, literacy-rich learning environment for children in her community after listening to the popular podcast series, Sold A Story.  Pam also recently published the book Dyslexia and the Public Schools: What They Don't, Can't, or Won't Tell You, and Steps to Take to Advocate for Your Child's Needs. ***  Sign up for Kerry's free, weekly email newsletter on education trends at edentrepreneur.org.
