As educators, we face daily challenges teaching students with different learning needs. Having the right resources is key to helping students learn.
I'm excited to present The Slingerland Multisensory Approach: A Practical Guide for Teaching Reading, Writing, and Spelling 4th Edition. This updated edition serves as a foundation for all other Slingerland materials, showcasing the latest Slingerland has to offer.
This book has been made possible through the generous donations of Slingerland Supporters during our 2024 Annual Appeal campaign and the tireless efforts of our Faculty Senate members who volunteered their time and expertise. We are grateful to you all.
Staying True to the Approach
The 4th Edition embodies our inclusive philosophy, presenting the Approach in clear and straightforward language while maintaining the lesson plan elements and rationales first established by Beth Slingerland.

lesson plan terms updated to match current literacy research
a new section on oral language development

sample exercises and plans as models and springboards
three new appendices providing the most commonly requested references to assist planning
