100% SUCCESS  Literacy Intervention, Remediation, & Prevention

​

Teaching children to learn how to read and spell the English language correctly - meaning without asking the learners to memorize words is not easy because English is a complex language.  The words from the English language come from different sources and languages such as Old and Middle English, Latin and French, etc.,  —each with its phonology, structure, rules, strategies, and techniques.

 

Also, with close to a million words and counting and has the largest vocabulary and is still growing, the English language has many variants and has one of the most complex alphabetic orthographies. Therefore, the training, workshops, and courses to learn the English language even for teachers must be divided into different levels so that it will not be too overwhelming for the participants.

​

​

 

Together, we can make the impossible, possible!
