Teachers in a specific school district have a new tool to better assist students who have reading disabilities. This program is an early intervention method to be used in preschool & early education programs. Specific teachers in the school or district have been identified to learn methods through a local university.

“DENVILLE TWP. – Teachers in the township’s preK-8 district are learning how to better remedy reading disabilities, thanks to a new two-year certification program through Fairleigh Dickinson University.”

The tools the teachers are learning use a unique and different approach to teaching young children how to read. This method uses multiple senses of the child as well as providing one to one individualized tutoring for the child. Added bonus is the teachers of Denville and the district will be certified in this method.
