Gretchen and Jeanine, the Founders of Fundamental Learning Center, had no other choice but to do the work themselves. Their kiddos were struggling and nobody could help them.
ā
There were anxiety attacks, tummy-ache calls from the nurse, and a lot of frustration and saddess.
ā
After years of back-and-forth, it was clear was the only option was to do it themselves. Jeanine spent six years spending three weeks in Dallas, three weeks in Wichita so she could get the best possible training for her son, Cooper.
She didn't want any other parent to feel the way she did for so long - all kids deserve to get the help they need. So, in 2000 Fundamental Learning Center was created and the impact began.

Help a child learn to read
Our courses and workshops were designed with 25 years' worth of expertise in the field of educating students with reading differences. We love to have educators and parents alike in our courses and workshops.
Plan now for your 2024-2025 training. Select the course, workshop or lecture name and the date you would like to attend.
Materials will be purchased separately and will be provided when you arrive for your course or workshop.
Friends University is excited to accept the noted workshop graduate credits earned through
the Phillips Fundamental Learning Center for the Structured Literacy Intervention Specialist concentration. These elective credits can be applied toward a Master of Education degree at Friends University.
A seven year old boy struggles to make sense of words on the page. But when Mike is diagnosed with dyslexia and the teachers continue to fail him, his mother takes matters into her own hands to help her son fulfil his true potential.
The skill of reading requires matching letters to sounds, sounds to words, and words to expression. A jumble of sounds and symbols can become a smooth path to reading if dyslexic individuals are given the proper instruction – like that found in The Sound Case or our Literacy Intervention Training certified by ALTA for teachers and parents.
