Teaching The World To Read

Training Overview

EBLI offers several training options for schools, educators, and tutors at all grade levels to be trained in the EBLI system. These trainings, combined with required consultation both on-site and online, will provide trainees with the EBLI system and techniques to assist their students in reaching their highest potential in reading and spelling. EBLI trainings are intended to provide educators with the necessary information and materials to teach students directly; they will not have permission to or be capable of teaching other educators how to teach EBLI.
