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

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!

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.

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