DR. TERRY KINDERVATER
Dr. Terry Kindervater is the creator and founder of Phonics in Motion. An educator for over 40 years, she combined her classroom experience with professional knowledge to create a solution to the literacy challenges faced by both teachers and students.
Born out of the classroom, Phonics in Motion was developed to support teachers in efficiently teaching all pillars of early literacy without relying on multiple, siloed programs. As Tim Raskinski said, “It is my belief that the science of reading and the art of teaching must go hand in hand, with the teacher and the student at the forefront of the equation.”
When building Phonics in Motion, she was highly invested in developing routines that integrated all pillars of early literacy, while remaining meaningful and authentic in the classroom. Thus, Dr. Kindervater created a unique method for kids to make connections between phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension using a simplified, engaging process.
