The Institute for Multi-Sensory Education offers our product "Sensational Strategies for Teaching Beginning Readers" for interested parents to use with their children. This IMSE reading Orton-Gillingham based program will assist them in providing early reading intervention.  IMSE's phonics based reading  program is ideal for the homeschool or the home school. Our product  based on  the  Orton-Gillingham method (highly structured, phonics based, and multi-sensory) is used by the leading reading educators across the country in numerous tutorial centers as well as in the general or special ed. classrooms.   Latest research studies have shown that utilizing phonics instruction during initial reading development is critical. This is supported by Reid Lyon of the National Institute of Health. Numerous studies at the NIH show that more than 95 percent of  the poorest readers still can learn to read at grade level. These at risk children need to receive proper phonics instruction,  and it needs to be provided early.  You might be a great reasoner, with an "IQ" of 145,  and still be a poor reader. Debbie M. Price and Kathy Lally have stated in a newspaper article in the Baltimore Sun,  dated  Nov. 3, 1997, that Yale University researchers, who were utilizing the latest MRI technology, have demonstrated that the brain reads by decoding words into sounds. The brains of  those individuals who can't sound out words often look different on the MRI pictures.

In the academic arena, the researchers have not been a match to the fad or fashion, when loaded with religion and politics, as stated in the newspaper,   Baltimore Sun.  Since the late 1970's, most school districts in this country have abandoned phonics and phonics based reading instuction in their reading curriculums. They went for the more enticing "whole-language" programs that promised to teach children to read by immersing them in quality literature. In 1995 the State of California declared a statewide crisis in reading which caused them to publish:  The California Task Force on Reading: Every Child a Reader. On Oct. 27, 1997, James Collin's also published his narrative article in Time Magazine entitled  "How Johnny Should Read."

The Institute believes that all students benefit when they are provided with phonics instruction. The phonics instruction can simply be added to existing "whole language" curriculums to form a more balanced approach to language development. The Institute for Multi-Sensory Education has developed a state-of- the-art, multi-sensory phonics tutorial program, which will give parents the opportunity to give their children a jump start on basic reading skills as well as assist beginning readers develop a solid foundation of  sound and letter relationships. Our program will also provide valuable assistance to children who are currently experiencing difficulty with the reading process.  We know that even children with learning disabilities or dyslexia  will benefit from the Orton-Gillingham method of phonics instruction in developing literacy. The leading tutorial centers have been very successful  using the same Orton-Gillingham methodology.
