General Information:

The Slingerland Approach uses simultaneous, multi-sensory instruction to teach language arts--speaking, reading, spelling, and writing--to students who struggle learning these skills in a traditional way. Instruction is presented so that all learning pathways (visual, auditory, kinesthetic-tactile) are used simultaneously in order to enhance memory and learning.

 

Every year Prentice offers a Slingerland Summer School, which focuses on the Slingerland Approach to Language Arts with instruction in reading, handwriting, spelling, and oral and written language. In order to acquire skills that allow children who struggle with language to reach their potential, they must be presented with highly structured and explicit instruction in phonics and the application of rules when writing, following the normal development of language.
