Indy Reads has promoted Jennifer Malins to vice president of program. Her new role combines program development, community outreach, and building comprehensive training programs for instructors and volunteer tutors.

She most recently served as center director for Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes in Walnut Creek, California. Malins has implemented a process-based curriculum that addresses the root of reading challenges by developing the underlying sensory-cognitive processes needed for reading and writing.  She has trained instructors in this method in order to successfully teach low-level readers.
