About
The Slingerland Method is a multisensory structured language approach developed by Beth Slingerland as an adaptation of Orton-Gillingham for classroom use, particularly with first- through fourth-grade students at risk for dyslexia. The method integrates handwriting, spelling, and reading instruction in a specified sequence and pace, with heavy use of simultaneous visual, auditory, and kinesthetic channels. The nonprofit Slingerland Institute for Literacy in Bellevue, Washington, trains teachers and certifies instructors. The method is used in private Slingerland-model schools and by trained tutors working with homeschool students.
