Lindsay Cochrane

Lindsay Cochrane is the creator of the I Can Read in French Phonics Program and Sound Wall, and the co-creator of Pratique phonémique. She works with both francophone and French Immersion schools across Canada, designing and delivering workshops as well as providing much-needed French language resources.
