WHY SLINGERLAND® WORKS
MSL APPROACH
Research has shown the effectiveness of the Slingerland® Multisensory Structured Language Approach (MSL) in helping children and adults with specific language differences learn how to read, spell and write.
BUILDING ON THE LETTER
The Slingerland® approach starts with the smallest unit of language, the letter, and builds upon the concepts of its sight and sound until students are reading and writing sentences, paragraphs, and books.
