Training to increase reading skills

Ilene — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 13:01:00 GMT

Ten high school honor society seniors have been trained to use Fletcher’s Place Reading Program with first graders in an afterschool program. The high school students did really well in learning the program and presenting it to the younger children. The first graders have increased their skills and reading level. One first grade teacher said her student had never really shown an interest in reading before this, but now she seems motivated to learn. I think this is a model program that could be used in many other school districts.

Multisensory education

I have used multisensory programs with many students, with great success. Two of these programs are Wilson and Fletcher's Place, which I used most often. Lesson plans for groups or individual students can easily be individualized and customized to use all senses. You and the student are successful every time the student understands something new or acquires a new skill.
