Transforming Reading Techniques: A Conversation with Susan Kahn


Listen Later

Have you ever wondered how a powerful support system can change the life of someone with a disability? Join Host Annette Hines in this passionate conversation with Susan Kahn, the brains behind Sue's Strategies, as we take a deep-dive into the significance of community for those navigating life with disabilities.  They explore the trials and tribulations of Annette's personal journey within this community, and share her mission to empower, engage and educate others. Susan Kahn, a revolutionary reading specialist, shares her captivating journey to transform how we approach reading in schools. Drawing from her experience with her third son who was born with learning disabilities, she shines a light on the power of phonics. Making a second career out of her passion, she entered private practice and  has written 18 texts for sale on amazon; 53 free, animated videos; and 755 free blog articles to share her knowledge.  They delve into her unique system of teaching children to learn flashcards and syllabicate words in just "five minutes a day", her "two rules of syllabication," and the importance of bringing this instruction to higher education. In a society where reading is often the gateway to success, Susan discusses the profound impact reading difficulties can have on self-esteem and life outcomes. She talks about her innovative five-step process that utilizes phonemic awareness and memory strategies to help children learn to read, including those with learning disabilities. They discuss the urgent need for change in our education system and the potential implications of passing two bills now in the Massachusetts state legislature: S263 and H 579, "An Act to promote high quality comprehensive literacy instruction in all Massachusetts schools" that would require schools to use the science of reading. Be sure not to miss out on this conversation about revolutionizing education, the power of community, and much more.
