Listen "Building Literacy through the Magic of Pen Pals w/ Joi Renique"
Episode Synopsis
Let me know what you think 😉This session is from the Uninterested Reader Track at the Reluctant Readers Summit - March 2, 2023.Joi is a wife, mother, social worker and entrepreneur. She's from Miami, Florida, USA and a graduate of the University of Miami with a degree in psychology. During college she was given an assignment to interview an elderly person (she chose her grandmother's sister). This was the source of her inspiration to create a way for people to connect, teach and learn from their loved ones. She (a millennial) then started working with her grandfather's sister (a baby boomer, and retired teacher) to design thought provoking questions that could bridge the generational divide we often face when sharing and comparing stories from our past. This also inspired her to find ways to make reading and writing fun for people of all ages, and letter writing is an age-old method to connect with others and build literacy.WebsiteVisit your Summit Portal to claim your free gifts!
