In the fourth grade, Nancy
Thompson Spencer (founder of Reading Friends) was
told she would never make it to college. Nancy proved
this prediction wrong by earning an undergraduate degree
in education along with an endorsement in special
education from Texas Christian University. She continued
her post -graduate work at East Texas State University
and Dean Memorial Learning Center at Texas Scottish Rite
Hospital where she became a Certified Language
Therapist.
During the first five years of Reading Friends'
existence, the clinic experienced persistent community
demand and steady growth that produced the need for a
bigger and better space.
To accommodate this demand, Reading Friends exited its
location at the back of the book store and found its own
store front in West Fort Worth.
After 27 successful years of business, Reading Friends
continues to operate on the strong belief that all
children deserve a nurturing, structured, academic
environment which provides a foundation for learning.
Nancy, as the sole owner, transformed her reading clinic
into a innovative, academic preschool for all children.
Persistent demand for a Reading Friends education
supports the Reading Friends Corporate belief that:
- parents want the
best academic foundation for their preschool child;
- parents can identify
a system that fosters academic excellence;
- and parents are
willing to spread the word and advertise what they
believe works.
In short, Nancy
personally understands and represents the limitless
possibilities of every child. |
