This program is designed for people 14 years or older and uses a multisensory approach involving the use of visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and tactile pathways of learning. It was developed by the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital. It is heavily phonetic, each lesson spiraling from the previous sessions. Each lesson is taught on DVD and is facilitated by Eleanor Colombo, a retired reading teacher.
