The Multisensory
Teaching Approach(MTA) was developed by Dr. Margaret Taylor
Smith and is a successful skill building process used to
increase the students’ productivity in reading, writing and
spelling. Children are assessed at the end of first grade to see
if MTA will be an intervention needed to overcome reading,
writing and spelling difficulties. After parent permission is
attained, children attend a daily pull-out class.
Continued progress by our MTA pull-out children has increased
our overall success on our state TAKS Test.
