Adult Literacy Reading Programs

| Literacy |
A well-trained teacher or tutor in an adult literacy program should be trained in at least three methods, including the multisensory approach, which has proven to be effective for adult students with learning disabilities. A multisensory method uses a combination of visual, auditory and tactile-kinesthetic instruction to enhance memory and learning.
Following is a list of multi sensory structured language programs. This list
does not include every available adult literacy reading program; however, many
of the programs listed are based on the “Orton Gillingham-Stillman Approach.”
This approach is often described as the grandfather of many successful
multisensory reading programs.
