Phonics Fundamentals

“We believe that by teaching the right things, the right way with the needed practice for mastery, ANYONE and EVERONE 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 and 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 (Accrediting Quality Professionals Preparation in Dyslexia) approved Orton-Gillingham based multisensory structured language program.

What is multisensory teaching?
