The Lees Deur Kleur multisensory reading system is totally unique and a world
first in its approach in the way it teaches the student to read. Studies have
shown that struggling and new readers benefit tremendously from a
multisensory reading instruction.
Lees Deur Kleur believes it is extremely vital that new readers learn from an
early age to recognize Phonic Sounds and to decode words to help students read
fluently while at the same time developing word recognition in an easy to follow
system.
