Teaching children to learn how to read and spell the English language correctly - meaning without asking the learners to memorize words is not easy because English is a complex language.  The words from the English language come from different sources and languages such as Old and Middle English, Latin and French, etc.,  —each with its phonology, structure, rules, strategies, and techniques.

 

Also, with close to a million words and counting and has the largest vocabulary and is still growing, the English language has many variants and has one of the most complex alphabetic orthographies. Therefore, the training, workshops, and courses to learn the English language even for teachers must be divided into different levels so that it will not be too overwhelming for the participants.

  

Our Multisensory Reading System (MRS) Orton-Gillingham Literacy Training is open to all parents with children and those with dyslexia as well as parents who would like to increase their children’s reading and spelling skills.

Multisensory Reading System 

Orton-Gillingham

Literacy Training for Parents

subject to modification based on the participant/s capacity to learn

Level 1 is a prerequisite for Level 2, Level 2 is a prerequisite for Level 3, and so on. Strategies, rules, and tips for reading and spelling are included in the training package. Additional training, sessions, and consultations,  if needed have additional fees and are subject to our available time slots. Also, the child the participant is intended to teach must have at least low cognitive ability and intact vision and hearing because not everyone can learn to read.

MRS Orton-Gillingham Literacy Training for Parents Level 1.1: The Basic Speech Sounds and the Vowel-Consonant Simple Words

​

We do not start learning to read and spell by learning the names of the letters of the alphabet but by the sounds. Thus this training delves into the basic speech sounds, the foundation for learning how to read, write, spell, and comprehend. For example, if a child knows and can recognize the sounds of /k/, /a/, /t/ and can connect these sounds he can read and even spell the word cat but not if he only knows the names of the letters c, a, t.

 

Also, based on the feedback that we received during the educators' training, most of the teachers are overwhelmed with too much information to digest, and strategies to teach children how to read, write, spell, and comprehend, therefore the literacy training must be divided by levels for educators and with sublevels for parents.   

 

At the end of the training, participants will be able to teach students with at least low cognitive ability and with intact vision and hearing to read and spell closed syllable, one-syllable simple words such as zag cot, bud, kin, peb, etc., meaning without memorizing words.​
