MSLE Training
What is MSLE?
Multisensory Structured Literacy Education (MSLE), which incorporates the Orton -Gillingham approach, is a systematic phonics-based approach to literacy education that requires students to use more than one modality (auditory, kinesthetic, and visual) when learning new concepts and practicing already taught concepts.
What aspects of literacy does MSLE training include?
The Children’s Dyslexia Center of Bangor’s MSLE training includes instruction on how to teach letter to sound correspondences, orthography, morphology, phonological awareness, vocabulary building, fluency, and comprehension using a multisensory approach.
When is the training offered and who is eligible?
The year-long training is offered yearly. Each training course begins in the summer. It is open to any professional who holds a bachelor’s degree and successfully passes a background check. See the MSLE training brochure and the 2020-2021 training syllabus for more information.
