Teach the skills children need to become independent learners and thinkers—that has been Kathy Johnson’s motto for years. A now retired teacher, Kathy dedicates her time as an Early Childhood Educational Consultant and Reading Specialist. She works to provide academic intervention services to struggling learners at The Reading Connection in Fort Worth, Texas, created by her daughter, Kary. Teacher and parent trainings are
also one of Kathy's specialties since the education of children lies in those who provide
them with knowledge.
Every student reserves the right to learn and Kathy has dedicated over 15 years to
making sure every student gets just that. She has specialized working with second
language learners, special needs children, and children of poverty in reading and science.
With such a love of teaching, Kathy has made an effort to share her expertise with
others. She has spoken on reading and science around the world and has also served as a
mentor at her alma mater, Texas Christian University, as well as at Tarleton State
University.
