Are you looking for practical,
reliable techniques to help your
struggling readers learn to read?
The Sonday System, which
follows the research recommendations
of the National Institute of Health
(NIH) offers practical, proven
strategies for helping students who
fall behind their classmate using
traditional methods. It has
been used successfully in classrooms
around the world and can easily be
used with the Four Block approach.
The Sonday System helps readers by
teaching to their learning strengths
- auditory, visual or kinesthetic -
while strengthening weaknesses.
It is a system that translates
national and state standards into
tools, training, and testing.
The presentation of new material is
balanced with a review of previously
presented sounds, words an sentences
to insure that students master all
they learn. Parents,
volunteers and tutors can readily
use this program to reinforce and
support work done in the classroom.
The workshop will include
demonstrations, role playing, and
opportunities for teachers to
practice with children.
Participants will learn how to
interpret tests and translate
results into instructional
strategies.
