Summer 2004 Teacher Trainings
Summer provides many opportunities for educators to enroll in a multisensory structured language education (MSLE) training program. Research has shown that these systematic, phonics-based approaches to reading and writing can help struggling students of all ages. Both mainstream classroom teachers and educators of children with specific language learning disabilities benefit from learning these techniques. Listed below are some of the programs that will be offered this summer in the greater Bay Area.
