-"Sensational Strategies for Teaching Beginning Readers"


The Institute for Multi-Sensory Educations "Sensational Strategies for Teaching Beginning Readers" is an instructional multi-sensory phonics pased reading program (based on Orton-Gillingham methodology), complete with instructional videotape, developed for parents to use in the homeschool with their children. This powerful program is based on the same Orton-Gillingham (phonics, multi-sensory, highly structured) method of reading instruction used by many of the best professional educators--in both public and private schools--as well as many outstanding tutoring centers. IMSE has developed this program to empower parents to give their children a head start on the basics of reading, to support beginning readers, and to assist children who experience difficulty with the reading process.

Designed for parents of children from pre-kindergarten through 3rd grade.

"Research has shown that about 20 minutes a day, three to four times a week in phonemic awareness instruction will result in dramatic improvement in reading and spelling skills."
        --National Institute for Child Health and Human Development

"Sensational Strategies for Teaching Beginning Readers" is successful because:

  • It provides the basic phonics instruction that research shows to be critical to reading success.
  • Children learn best from logical, success-oriented, sequential instruction.
  • The simple four-part lesson plans are multi-sensory, using all the learning pathways: sight, sound and touch.
  • The program quickly incorporates reading and writing at the basic level and continues to more advanced skills.
  • Once children master the letter/sound relationship they can successfully read and write hundreds of words.

Our program will:

  • Empower your child to quickly master reading, writing, and spelling
  • Ensure your child's academic success
  • Give you the tools to take an active role in your child's education
  • Give a head start to emergent readers in the foundation of reading
  • Provide additional support for children who are struggling without phonetic instruction
  • Allow successful readers to advance to more complex material

Complete training program includes:

  • Parent Manual: complete step-by-step instruction
  • 55-minute Instructional Video: demonstrates two complete lessons
  • Handwriting Guide
  • Alphabet Card Pack
  • Sensational Sand
  • Red Crayon
  • Plastic Word Screen
  • Letter Formation Paper
  • Vowel Pictures

Cost Effective:

The most expensive part is your time. The costs of professional tutoring in Orton-Gillingham (used in leading centers across the country) range from $30.00 to $55.00 for a 50 minute hour. Normally, children are seen multiple times each week. As you can see, the cost of "Sensational Strategies for Teaching Beginning Readers" is quite small in comparison.
