Slingerland® Program
Empowering Literacy Development
At Livermore Valley Academy, we proudly implement the Slingerland® Approach, a proven, multisensory method designed to enhance literacy skills in learners of all abilities.
This cohesive program integrates various instructional techniques that cater to individual learning styles, ensuring that each student can develop a strong foundation in reading, writing, and spelling.
Structured and Sequential Literacy Instruction
The Slingerland® Approach is built on a structured, logical framework that fosters independence in learners. This sequential method guides students through a comprehensive, integrated path that is both flexible and adaptable to meet their diverse needs. Each lesson is meticulously crafted to build upon the knowledge gained in previous stages, allowing for steady progression and mastery of literacy skills.
Multisensory Instruction for Deeper Learning
Using a multisensory approach, the Slingerland® Program incorporates auditory, visual, and kinesthetic-motor techniques. This enables students to maximize their stronger channels of learning while also reinforcing any weaker areas. By engaging multiple senses, learners make meaningful inter-sensory associations that enhance retention, understanding, and recall of information.
Each lesson features built-in diagnostics that help identify areas of growth and development. This data-driven approach allows our dedicated educators to tailor instruction to support each student’s specific requirements, promoting differentiation based on individual learning needs.
Foundational Skills in Literacy
Learning with the Slingerland® Approach begins with the smallest units of literacy: single letters. Students start by associating sounds with their visual counterparts and progress to blending letters to form words. This foundational skill-building leads to greater reading fluency, spelling competence, and a deeper understanding of language.
