ABOUT
We turn around lives by showing

great news about literacy and learning.
OUR FOUNDER
Diane Devenyi is a former lawyer who shifted her focus to education when her 3 children were young. Since 1998 she has:
-
run pilot projects in schools,
-
earned a Masters of Education degree, with a focus on gamification of learning
-
founded a summer camp,
-
given workshops for students, parents, teachers, and companies,
-
presented at many educational conferences.
-
written her first book, "Dear Genius, Harness the Hidden Power in Your ABCs!", and
-
created and facilitated fresh online literacy and learning experiences for family and corporate settings
Learning
is confusing, messy, scary, and exciting.
It can also be a lot of fun.
JOHN FRASER
Director of Education, Peel Region, Retired says:
"In the 15 years that I was Director of Education in Peel, one of the largest school systems in Canada, I encountered many people keenly interested in amending, improving and changing the programs in the public school system. Never in all that time have I encountered a person who is more intelligent, insightful, creative, generous, and with such a commitment to improvement that benefits all, than Diane. With her single minded determination, she not only set out to create improvements but did so with the earnestness that earned her a Masters of Education degree. I know that she carries this spirit to all that she does."
