Dr. Susan Whittaker, owner of Jolly Reading, worked in the Illinois Public School system for 17 years. As an early childhood specialist for 10 years, she worked with children with disabilities ranging from mild speech and language delays to severe physical/medical conditions. For the remaining 7 years, Susan taught kindergarten in classes that included a strong emphasis on English language learner

s as well as inclusive children with disabilities. Dr. Whittaker has spent time in Abu Dhabi completing her TEFL Certification in Arabic studies as well as England, working as the Manager of Autism for Arbourvale School. Susan has recently retired from her role as Principal for Summit Academy in Amherst, NY. The Academy houses 325 students from the WNY region and provides an alternative education program for children (18 months – 21 years) with autism and other developmental disabilities. Currently, Susan is an Assistant Professor at Niagara University in the Early Childhood - Special Education Department. Susan possesses a Doctor of Education (EdD) from Aurora University in Illinois. Her dissertation entitled “Response to Intervention (RtI) - Effectiveness in Kindergarten Reading Achievement” was completed in May, 2013. Susan was a speaker at the annual dissertation conference at Aurora University in September, 2012 and has been an invited speaker at the Center for Autism and Related Disorders and The Reading League conferences for her work in building a balanced reading program for children with ASD. Susan is passionate about early reading and literacy skills at the pre-school through sixth grade levels. She has been an independent trainer for Jolly Phonics and Jolly Grammar (www.JollyLearning.co.uk/) since 2013. Susan networks with worldwide trainers and attends annual global conferences to discuss reading incentives and pedagogies. Her use of Jolly Phonics has yielded increased reading scores as evidenced in standardized reading tests. Susan is committed to reducing reading delays by implementing research-based reading programs at an early age for typically developing children as well as those diagnosed with ASD. If you are already using Jolly Phonics, I would enjoy providing additional training and insight into the program. If this is your first introduction to Jolly Phonics, I would welcome your time in discussing the program with you. I am passionate about the reading gains secured through the implementation of this program.
