What if learning to read English didn't have to be so difficult? Jamie and Jerri sit down with Narda Pitkethly, founder of the Nardagani Reading Program, to explore that very question. She shares the story behind her unique, symbol-based approach to literacy, inspired by the Japanese Hiragana writing system and refined through decades of research. Designed for learners of all ages, the Nardagani method helps readers decode English with greater confidence and ease.
Narda's TEDx Talk, A New Way to Learn to Read English, has been viewed more than 1.5 million times, inspiring educators and families around the world to rethink how reading is taught. Tune in as we discuss the inspiration behind the Nardagani Reading Program, the research that shaped its development, and the impact this innovative (and free) approach is having on learners around the world.
