Lynne Hanson
Author & Creator, Hanson Reading Phonics Chart System
For over 50 years, Lynne has taught hundreds of children to read.
It all began when Lynne was a resource teacher in a public school, and noticed how frustrated her 2nd - 6th grade students became while trying to learn to read using inefficient and confusing reading curricula. In addition, she noticed these students were often considered to be discipline problems, simply because of their difficulty learning. Lynne became determined to make the how-to-read process easier and faster for all students.
Lynne recognized that learning to read was incredibly difficult because the rules always seemed to change. She studied and discovered patterns to English words that no one else recognized; This discovery became the beginning of the Hanson Reading Phonics Chart System, which teaches beginning readers how to read in a clear, organized sequence of skills. Some children zing through the process and others take longer, but all are successful without experiencing the dreaded fear of failure that does so much damage. She has not yet found a child she could not successfully teach to read.
We are so grateful for her vision, tenacity, and commitment to giving the gift of confidence to hundreds of children by teaching them to read with the Hanson Reading Phonics Chart System.
Wendy Spencer
Chief Executive Officer, Hanson Reading Phonics Chart System
Wendy is an expert in building childrens’ confidence through incremental steps of success. She understands deeply that when children attempt something challenging and succeed, their confidence grows; She has been building confidence in hundreds of children for over three decades.
As a teenager, Wendy tutored her neighbor’s young son in reading, and she was quickly hooked when she saw his excitement each time he succeeded in learning a new concept. As a second grade teacher, Wendy grew this passion for teaching. She has been a Singers Company director for 20 years, building confidence in hundreds of young girls, and she founded Building Young Leaders, an education center in Merced, California that for ten years specialized in performing arts and homeschool enrichment classes for children and youth.
Upon meeting Lynne Hanson and her amazing reading program in 2000, Wendy recognized immediately that Hanson Reading is a far superior method of teaching children to read than any other method, and fell in love with it! Wendy became certified to teach the Hanson Reading Phonics Chart System, and taught her own four children to read using this system, as well as groups of children in Colorado. She is now helping children everywhere learn to read in the most efficient, organized and confidence-building way: with Hanson Reading!
