Why is it important for educators to be trained in multisensory structured language education (MSLE) approaches?
Research has shown that explicit, systematic, phonics-based approaches are necessary for many children to “break the code” of our language and become proficient readers and spellers. Unfortunately, the training provided in most teacher preparation programs is not sufficient to ensure that teachers become proficient in the use of MSLE approaches, so it is important to seek out such training as part of one’s ongoing professional development.
