Welcome to The Language Laboratory - Where Reading IS Rocket Science! The Language Laboratory is a multisensory language, reading readiness, and reading center for children ages 3-10 years old, offering beginning, enrichment, and remedial reading instruction. Small classes and individual reading therapy are available in both the Madison and Randolph locations. The Language Laboratory uses Orton-Gillingham based phonics techniques and the American Manual Sign Alphabet to teach letter sounds, encoding (spelling) and decoding (reading). Handwriting is taught as an aid to literacy instruction. Classes offered are: Get Ready to Read (reading readiness skills), Ready to Read (alphabet letters and sounds), I Can Read Words (beginning reading instruction), I Can Read Big Words (advanced reading instruction), Fine Motor Madness (writing and pre-writing skills, fine motor development), (128) and I Can Write Stories (composition). Classes meet weekly during the school year and three times per week throughout the summer months. Children love coming to The Language Laboratory and learning new sign language and literacy skills through exciting hands-on activities! The Language Laboratory was created by Reading Specialist Jenelle Erickson, who has served on the Board of The International Dyslexia Association of New Jersey. Licensing opportunities will soon be available. Call (973)377-8313 for a brochure.
