Bonnie Macmillan is an educational psychologist who is convinced that all children can be taught how to read through science-based methods. Having always felt that learning to read is an intellectually stimulating experience, she wanted very badly to teach her own two children to read before they started school. But how? Although she did manage to teach them to read by the ages of 3 and 4, she felt let down that her early university studies and teaching experience had not better equipped her for the task.
Since then, she has spent over 30 years working in the field of education, teaching young children and conducting experimental research on learning and memory, children's brain development, causes and cures of dyslexia, and sex differences in reading ability. She has a PhD from the University of British Columbia, Canada, where she learned how to evaluate and conduct scientific research.
Now that she has discovered that teaching a child to read is not so difficult or complicated as she had once thought, she is keen to help other parents and teachers experience the thrill of success that teaching a child to read can bring.
She has lived, worked, and studied in a number of countries, and now lives with her husband in rural France.
