Multi-sensory Approach to Literacy

We address the needs of teachers facing challenges in teaching literacy skills and strategies.

Based on the Orton-Gillingham Approach, the Multi-sensory Approach to Literacy Workshop is specially crafted to bring you through a logical sequence that leaves no gaps in the learning process. Best of all, the Orton-Gillingham Approach to teaching literacy skills benefits all types of learners—not just those who struggle.

In this workshop we cover multisensory skills to teach reading, spelling and writing; we also make sure that there is theory on the building blocks of literacy. We delve into the understanding of dyslexia so that preschool teachers can help identify these children and do early intervention if possible.

For parents, having armed with this knowledge of dyslexia, it will help them look out for signs and symptoms in their children and seek help early.
