About Reading Friends Franchise Company

Ours started as a story of overcoming. Owner and founder, Nancy Spencer, was the first person in the city of Fort Worth to be diagnosed with dyslexia after many years of struggling in school. With the proper training, she was able to thrive academically and gained a passion for children and the way that they learn. With the help of Dr. Luke Waites, Gladys Kolenovsky and a team from Scottish Rite Hospital in Dallas, TX, Nancy wrote a full curriculum and started Reading Friends preschool in 1980. The school is now run by her two daughters, Audrey Fowler and Nancy Pack. There are two additional locations. One located in Keller, run by Marsha Wesley. One located in Aledo, run by Diane Taylor.
