Reading with TLC

Reading with TLC publishes educational materials and provides professional training for the development of reading skills. It features two multisensory, language-based programs that use oral kinesthetic (mouth movement) cues, imagery, and mnemonics (memory tricks) to develop phonemic awareness, reading, and spelling skills in a structured approach. The two clinically proven, research-based programs are Lively Letters and Sight Words You Can See.

This unique program was developed with a team approach by Nancy Alemian Telian, a speech and language pathologist and Penny Alemian Castagnozzi, an elementary education specialist. The program was originally implemented in 1990 in urban school settings in Massachusetts with hundreds of students. After seeing rapid and dramatic gains in phonemic awareness, phonics, and oral reading skills, the Lively Letters program was officially published in 1993, and the company has continued to grow and expand its offerings.

Incorporated in 2001 as Telian-Cas Learning Concepts, Inc., our company stays abreast of the current research in reading, and consistently offers materials and techniques in alignment with governmental mandates and recommendations of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.

Lively Letters, created by Nancy Alemian Telian, M.S., CCC-SLP, is an imaginative program combining oral kinesthetic cues with colorful pictures and story characters embedded into letters to train letter sound associations, phonemic awareness, and phonics (sounding out words for reading and spelling)

Sight Words You Can See, created by Penny Alemian Castagnozzi, takes a student beyond his developed phonic skills, again using imagery and mnemonics to facilitate the rapid acquisition of phonetically irregular sight words (words that don't follow the rules of phonics).
