Speakers
Denise Eide
As the author of Uncovering the Logic of English and CEO and founder of Logic of English, Denise is passionate about translating the science of reading into practice. When her sons struggled to learn to read, she discovered that there are answers to the “whys” of English spelling. Upon seeing her sons go from nonreaders to reading chapter books within months, she realized that this information can help everyone! Armed with that knowledge, she has written more than eighteen books and created numerous teaching tools to make this knowledge accessible to all students.
Dr. Christy Jones
With a Doctorate in Education specializing in Reading and Literacy, Christy has written and co-written curriculum and books for Logic of English, Inc. and is currently the eLearning team lead. She taught middle and high school for ten years in public schools. She has used Logic of English curriculum in the classroom, as an interventionist and for South Carolina Summer Reading Camps. Christy decided to pursue her Doctorate in Education when she saw that many of her students couldn't read and that she did not have the proper tools to help them.
