In this episode, we welcome Krista Genovese to explore how giftedness, dyslexia, and hyperlexia intersect. As a first-grade teacher at Quest Academy—an independent school for gifted students in Palatine, Illinois—Krista specializes in foundational literacy skills to ensure that all learners receive the support they need.

A certified Orton-Gillingham dyslexia practitioner with a master’s degree in teaching and interdisciplinary arts, Krista shares valuable insights into the unique challenges gifted students with dyslexia and hyperlexia face. She highlights the importance of individualized instruction, one-on-one support, and fostering a classroom environment where students feel safe to take risks in their learning.
