Generational
Impact

Since 1996, thousands of educators have been trained or certified in IMSE, made possible by state grants. That means tens of thousands of children becoming readers. And we’re just getting started.

Proven Results.
Greater Access.

Traditional instruction does not prepare teachers to reach every student. Proven IMSE training gives educators everything they need to make an immediate impact — with your help, more children will become successful readers.

How You
Can Help

Your donation makes all the difference in children receiving effective reading instruction and a path toward literacy success. Giving teachers access to powerful, proven professional development rooted in the science of reading, providing structured literacy ensures no child gets left behind.

The IMSE difference

IMSE programs are designed around the science of reading, drawing from research in cognition, linguistics, and neuroscience. The result? Meaningful, measurable benefits for all readers.

Measurable Results

Schools that adopt the science of reading report quantifiable gains in fluency, comprehension, spelling, and overall reading achievement.

Smaller Achievement Gap

Structured Literacy has proven effective in closing the achievement gap between struggling and confident readers.

Early Intervention

The science of reading emphasizes early intervention, keeping literacy deficits from becoming more severe over time.

When teachers take IMSE training, they know they’re learning an evidence-based literacy model. When you donate to the IMSE Foundation, you know your support will have a lasting effect. Together, we can reverse the literacy crisis with training that works.

The IMSE Training was the best training I have ever received in my 21 years of teaching…My students now leave my classroom with a strong foundation in early literacy skills. Nothing compares to my students’ confidence when they realize they have what it takes to read and spell hard words.

1st Grade Teacher at Galileo STEM Academy West Ada School District, Meridian, Idaho

I am immensely grateful for IMSE's training and ongoing support. The program continually offers opportunities for learning and growth aligning with so many of the Science of Reading curricula. I utilize their products and resources all the time, and eagerly look forward to further training to enhance my practice and continue making a positive difference in the lives of children.

Thank you, IMSE, for empowering me to be a catalyst for change in literacy education!

Since completing IMSE training, I've successfully integrated the individualized and multisensory approach of OG into my teaching to cater to the diverse needs of all my students, fostering their overall learning and achievement. There's been a marked improvement in student test scores, coupled with a noticeable boost in their self-esteem. This enhanced self-confidence has greatly fueled their motivation and eagerness to participate in learning activities.

Reading Specialist, PS 23 Mahatma Gandhi Community School, Jersey City

The IMSE Orton Gillingham training was fantastic! At the end of the week, I felt completely prepared to implement the program with my students. My trainer has been available even more than a year later when I have had any questions. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to up their game for phonics instruction.
