Julia Solomon (21 April 1927 – 25 April 2016) (born Julia Green) was an Australian early-childhood educator, academic, literacy theorist and developer of the Solomon Method of Reading.
In 1990, based upon decades of her own research and experience, Solomon developed Reading For Sure,[1] a method for teaching effective English literacy to both children and adults. The implementation of Reading For Sure remained her primary professional focus until the end of her life. Solomon travelled widely around Australia and the world lecturing on her system, and established a franchising of her literacy clinics.
