FUNDAMENTAL LEARNING!

When students are taught the FUNDAMENTALS of our language system they become empowered advocates for their own learning.  
They begin to look for patterns and meaning in the structure of our highly ordered morphophonemic language system and learn that English is NOT crazy!  

Phonology, morphology, and etymology all have a role to play, as do syntax and semantics.  
Reading, writing, and spelling takes us on a journey through time as we encounter the fascinating history that is our language.

If you’re looking to go beyond phonemic awareness and phonics to learn more about
how the English language actually works, come and join us!
