Slingerland Literacy Institute
In 1977, Beth Slingerland founded the nonprofit Slingerland Literacy Institute to train teachers in the Slingerland Approach. Teachers complete extensive training and may earn certification through the Institute. Experienced teachers may become Instructors, helping train others.
Today, we continue Mrs. Slingerland’s mission: excellence in literacy instruction for all.
