Multi-sensory Approach to Literacy
Details
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.
For educators looking at furthering their skills in Orton-Gillingham Approach to teach older children, we devised 6 additional workshops to cover all the areas in basic OG training
- Decoding

Our training is now conducted via Zoom! Participants from all over the world can now join us easily.
Covid has thrown a spanner into our many years of training work and through much brainstorming and thinking, the team at MSL Centre devised a way to continue this training with the same efficacy as in classroom training through detailed planning, rewriting of the program so that more and more people can continue to benefit from the Orton-Gillingham Approach, despite not being able to travel. We continue to build in practice among participants via small groups with intense supervision by senior therapists of MSL Centre.
Our belief is that if Orton-Gillingham which is multisensory and systematic works to teach dyslexics who struggle with reading and writing, how much better would it be for kids who do not have this disability.
You will be seeing the child reading and writing faster than ever, picking up the skills which are fundamental to literacy.
We have devised the program and split it up into 2 separate sections :
MSL OG Preschool and 6 intensive followup workshops.
