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
When teachers feel confident, students thrive.
about Language and Literacy Clinic of Manitoba
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.
Please visit our "Work with Us" page to find out more.
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.

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.

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