Is multisensory instruction only for struggling readers? Learn how structured, active learning strengthens reading, math, science, and social studies.

Critical thinking starts with literacy and needs to be built on purpose from the very first years of school. Children cannot think critically about what they can't read, understand, or talk about. When reading skills are taught clearly and systematically, children do not need to spend mental energy on decoding and can focus on meaning, ideas, and understanding. This creates the conditions for deeper thinking.
