I would appreciate any info on this method - how it works/differs from others, as well as pros/cons.
Re: The Association Method
I found info on this in looking at LD Online: MSSL Methods, they have an article that lists Multisensory Structured Language Programs; Content & Principles of Instruction. It is listed as an MSSL reading program.
go to http://www.ldonline.org/ld_indepth/reading/mssl_methods.html
There is a website that describes it: http://www.dubard.usm.edu/associat.htm
I think it may not be widely used, as I rarely see it mentioned. That doesn’t mean it’s not good, however.
