Every Student Benefits from Multi-Sensory Education Based on the time-tested Orton-Gillingham method of reading instruction, the Institute for Multi-Sensory Education (IMSE) offers a revised and expanded multi-sensory approach that provides students the opportunity for success and benefits every learner. For over a decade this research-validated approach has been successfully implemented by teachers to empower children at all three tiers of instruction to dramatically reduce reading failure. IMSE programs provide the essential five components of an effective reading program as stipulated by the NICHD and the National Reading Panel and supported by the 2001 No Child Left Behind Act: Phonemic Awareness Phonics Vocabulary Development Fluency Comprehension Strategies The expertise acquired through IMSE training will allow educators to deliver explicit instruction in these key areas, while utilizing and strengthening all learning pathways through our unique multi-sensory approach. In addition, teachers will be provided with on going assessment and progress monitoring tools necessary to quickly and continuously evaluate each student’s individual needs. Training is tailored to ensure that any teacher can immediately integrate this program into their whole group, small group, or one-on-one language instructional time frame in a minimum of 30 minutes. Based on reliable research and best practices, the IMSE expanded Orton-Gillingham trainings are designed to give educators the knowledge and skills they need to help every student succeed.
