Jennie Farrant
Jennie comes from a family of educators and knew she wanted to be a teacher from an early age. After teaching first grade for two years, Jennie realized she had a heart for the students who needed extra support and went back to school to become certified in special education. Jennie later received her Master of Education in Reading Instruction and Reading Endorsement. However, it was not until her training with the Orton-Gillingham Academy in 2016 that she felt equipped to support the struggling reader. Since then, Jennie has been on a mission to grow as an OG practitioner and train teachers and tutors in the OG approach. Jennie helped start an OGA-accredited instructional program for dyslexic students in Orlando, Florida. She is a Fellow with the Orton Gillingham Academy (OGA), certified Multisensory Math Practitioner through Key Learning Center, and teacher trainer for ReadSource.
