In this episode of The Writing Glitch, host Cheri Dotterer explores the multisensory literacy system Sammy and the Magical Reading Chest from North Coast Educational Center. Unpacking puppets, tactile cursive cards, sign language visuals, and engaging student workbooks, Cheri highlights how this structured literacy program supports reading and writing development from a therapeutic and classroom perspective. She explains how the system aligns with structured literacy principles—systematic, explicit, cumulative, and multisensory—and how educators and therapists can creatively integrate it into their instruction.
