Teachers are drawn to the Slingerland® Approach because it brings meaning and structure to the teaching of reading and writing. Many teachers report that this course has provided more information, strategies, and tools for effective instruction than any undergraduate program they have completed.
“Having taught as long as I have, I have seen many children come through where I knew they had needs and I wasn’t sure how to address those needs. Sad to say, many are adults today and I don’t think I reached them. I took my first Slingerland class and I was hooked at that point because it gave a structure and meaning to my teaching. Often times when a child says ‘I forget, it means ‘I’m afraid to try; I don’t have the tools’. I wish every teacher could have what I have now.”
