We're so happy you're here

Every child deserves the chance to become a skilled reader.

Every educator deserves the knowledge to make that happen.

Language and Literacy Clinic of Manitoba supports educators by making the Science of Reading understandable, practical, and empowering. We take complex research and turn it into clear, classroom-ready instruction that builds strong literacy foundations.

We work alongside teachers, schools, and education teams to:

  • Build deep understanding of how the brain learns to read

  • Strengthen understanding of the foundations of structured literacy

  • Apply evidence-based reading instruction in real classrooms

  • Identify and support struggling readers with confidence

Our work is grounded in evidence and driven by impact. Our goal is simple: equip educators with the knowledge and tools they need so every student has the opportunity to become a successful reader.

When teachers feel confident, students thrive.

Frequently asked questions

about Language and Literacy Clinic of Manitoba

We already use a reading program. How can you support us?

We are not a program.
And we are not a one-time PD event.

We work alongside school and division teams to build the knowledge and systems needed to make structured literacy work in real classrooms.

That means:

  • Understanding how the brain learns to read

  • Building strong phonics and language instruction

  • Using data to group students effectively

  • Planning for intervention within real schedules

  • Supporting teachers as they implement

We combine professional learning, classroom modelling, coaching, and ongoing support.

Our goal isn’t inspiration.
It’s implementation.

How do you support schools with screening, grouping, and intervention time?

We provide practical systems that work inside real schools.

This includes:

  • Guidance on choosing and using universal screeners

  • Training on interpreting data for decision-making

  • Building flexible, skill-based groups

  • Designing intervention blocks that fit within your schedule

  • Coaching teams through real student scenarios

Data should reduce overwhelm, not create it.

We help your team use data with clarity and confidence.

How does your work support MTSS implementation?

Structured literacy and MTSS should work together, not compete.

We help schools align Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 instruction by:

  • Strengthening core instruction

  • Building clear decision rules for grouping and movement between tiers

  • Designing intervention blocks that fit within existing schedules

  • Training teams to use screening and progress monitoring data effectively

Strong Tier 1 reduces pressure on intervention.


Clear systems reduce staff burnout.

We understand that each child, each intervention group, each classroom is unique, so when we train educators we customize our approach to fit their needs while making sure to follow best practices.

Our goal is to bridge the gap between research and everyday teaching. We do the heavy lifting, staying on top of the latest findings, so you don't have to spend hours reading research articles. With us, you can trust that you're getting the most current and effective methods to support your team.

Are virtual sessions available for those who may not be able to attend in person?

Yes!

Our masterclasses can all be found on our website.

You can work 1-1 with us completely virtually - find out more on our "Work with Us" page.

We work directly with schools, districts, homeschool groups, parent groups (etc.) to provide trainings. These can be offered in-person or virtually.

How do we know if our literacy system is actually working?

Literacy success requires consistency.

Through data-based decision-making, we support leadership teams to:

  • Clarify non-negotiables for phonics and language instruction

  • Build shared instructional language across schools

  • Develop practical implementation plans

  • Monitor response to instruction

  • Support teacher leaders and literacy leads

  • Provide ongoing coaching and access for questions

Our role is to help you build internal capacity so your team can make informed, consistent decisions long after the PD ends.
