Welcome to the Reading Reform Foundation of New York website! If you have been looking for information about using multisensory phonics to teach reading, writing, spelling and comprehension - you've come to the right place! Reading Reform Foundation is a not-for-profit literacy organization whose experience has shown that almost every child, regardless of social and economic background, can learn to read, write and spell if taught by effective methods. We help teachers learn effective methods to teach reading, writing and spelling in two ways: 1) By offering graduate and non-credit courses 2) By offering direct classroom training

But it is those deep far-away things in him, those occasional flashings- forth of the intuitive truth in him; those short, quick probings at the very axis of reality; these are the things that make Shakespeare Shakespeare. -Herman Melville (1850) |
| "Reading
Reform provides a great gift to the teachers you train, their students,
the students' families, and all those who hope to live in a civilized
society."

Literacy is not a handy knack. It is a moral condition. The ability to read attentively, reflectively, and judiciously is equally the ability to be attentive, reflective, and judicious. For the sake of just and sane living, literacy is not an optional adornment. It is a necessity. It is not a variety or portion of education. It is education. It is the whole thing, the wholesome nourishment of the mind by which it may grow strong enough to be master of the will and not its slave, the judge of desire and not its procurer, the censor of sentiment and not its tool, and the inquisitor of belief, and not its flack. It is our only path to whatever wisdom we can have, which is our only path to whatever goodness we can know, which is our only path to whatever happiness we can enjoy. R. Mitchell Underground Grammarian 1987 |
