Phonics Fundamentals

“We believe that by teaching the right things, the right way with the needed practice for mastery, ANYONE and EVERYONE can learn to read, write, and spell to their individual potential."

Students experiencing difficulties with reading. writing, and spelling often exhibit weaknesses in auditory and/or visual processing, the underlining language skills involved such as hearing sounds (phonological awareness) and the linking of letters to those sounds (orthography).

Phonics Fundamentals, our core curriculum, is an IMSLEC (International Multisensory Structured Language Council) approved Orton-Gillingham based multisensory structured language program.

What is Multisensory Teaching?

Multisensory teaching is simultaneously visual, auditory, and kinesthetic-tactile to enhance memory and learning.

Links are consistently made between the visual, auditory, and kinesthetic-tactile pathways in learning to read, write and spell.
