What We Do
The Slingerland® Approach brings meaning and structure to the teaching of reading and writing.
The Slingerland® Approach revolutionized literacy instruction as the first whole-classroom adaptation of the Orton-Gillingham method. Slingerland® offers a comprehensive, multisensory, structured language program inclusive of all five pillars promoted by the science of reading: phonological awareness, phonics and word recognition, reading fluency, vocabulary and comprehension plus the added benefit of handwriting instruction.
The Slingerland Literacy Institute is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
