Teaching reading in your homeschool
Become your family reading expert.
For you to become the reading expert in your family, the best thing you can do is to go through a free reading workshop.
In the reading workshop you will learn how to teach:
- The 42 sounds of the alphabet
- 5 simple phonetic skills
- 2 decoding skills
These skills are learned through an explicit, systematic, and multi-sensory approach that is based on Orton-Gillingham principles of instruction. Research shows that learning how to teach a program with these qualities is essential. The reading workshop empowers you as the parent to know how to teach the foundational skills of reading. The workshop can take 6-hours to complete, however you can pause and come back and go through it at your own pace.
At the end of the training you will receive a certificate certifing that you have been trained in the Reading Horizons methodology.
