Stefanie Hohl is the creator of ABC See, Hear, Do, an innovative phonics program that helps kids learn to read through movement and fun. As a literacy advocate, author, and educator, she has helped thousands of children develop a love for reading. Stefanie is passionate about making learning engaging, especially for active kids. 

In this episode, Stefanie shares how her son’s struggle with learning to read inspired her to create a reading method that worked so well she knew other families needed it too. What began as one book has grown into a seven-book series, a line of supplemental materials, and a business that’s helped thousands of kids feel confident picking up a book for the first time. She also talks about imposter syndrome, the power of growing slowly, and how working with a business coach gave her the confidence she didn’t even know she was missing. Now she’s expanding her reach into teacher development, applying to conferences, and gearing up to use LinkedIn and video content to grow even more. If you’ve ever wondered whether your teacher skills could become a business, Stefanie’s story is proof that your ideas matter and that slow, steady growth can take you farther than you think!
