In this episode, we talk with Tricia Millar from That Reading Thing.  Tricia discusses some of the unique challenges that come with working with older students and adults to develop reading and spelling skills.  Tricia has worked to train youth workers, teachers, and other adults to provide reading instruction to older students. Through that work, she developed the reading program That Reading Thing and a spelling program called That Spelling Thing. These programs confirm that you are never too old to learn how to read!
