Clearly this isn't a 'magic button' that makes kids read, but it definitely goes in the 'every little bit helps' category.

Turn On The Subtitles Did you know that by just turning on the TV subtitles you can dramatically improve a child's reading?

I have spent the last few days creating an ONLINE course for MSL interventionists who are wondering how to create a high-quality multisensory environment through online tutoring. I also plan to continue to add new tools and strategies to this course. FYI: I have started the course at 50% discount due to the COVID crisis. Also, it is priced in CAD so US practitioners get a real bargain!

Take your MSL tutoring practice ONLINE. Are you an OG practitioner, a structured literacy interventionist or a multisensory literacy tutor? Are you figuring out how to take your practice online? This course will save you a LOT of time and frustration and provide you with the skills to get teaching online quickly and easily.

I am looking for families with children who are behind grade level in reading and likely have a reading difference to take part in beta testing my new virtual mentoring programme. Please share, and contact me through my website if you are interested.

This is a virtual programme, so open to families located somewhere on this planet.
