The Morris Center

Provider description

Welcome to The Morris Center, where learning is fun and challenges are conquered! We're a transdisciplinary team dedicated to helping children and adults struggling to read, write, and spell. How Does It Work? Research into how language skills develop shows us that there is a direct link between the strength of spoken language skills and reading fluency. These spoken language skills that allow us to effectively process language must be strong for reading skills to develop, but are unfortunately often overlooked by reading instruction because most curriculum developers assume they are already present. The NOW! Reading & Spelling program takes a different approach to improving reading and spelling, focusing on the development of that phonological awareness. This provides students with the solid foundation they need in order to move from strong spoken language skills to improvements in reading fluency. After completion of the program, students experience long-lasting reading improvements, often gaining several grade levels in reading ability and will exit the program with a newfound ability to analyze and reason through language tasks. Even students who have had speech therapy in the past and have reached a plateau in skill development have made gains through completion of the program.
