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.
​
There were anxiety attacks, tummy-ache calls from the nurse, and a lot of frustration and saddess.
​
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.

BUILDING THE SOUND CASE™ FOR EMERGING READERS
SIMPLE. DIFFERENT.
HANDS-ON. FUN. CONNECTING
CRITICAL SOUNDS-TO-Language
FOR CHILDREN AGES 4-7.
Teach every child to read early in life.
It's critical.
Use The Sound Case now to help prevent reading struggles and future reading failure.
Open the colorful new shelf box for The Sound Case™ and find tools to teach a child to read.
This ready-to-use kit is packed with evidence-based, professional level Structured Literacy teaching tools. It's the same kit we use at Phillips Fundamental Learning Center to prepare our 4-7 year-olds to read, write, and spell.
Just add children's books from your current collection, your local library, or buy from your bookstore or online.
Each 30 -45 minute lesson is separated into introduction, face-to-face steps, side-by-side steps, and easy instructions to help your student learn to recognize the sound, shape, and formation of each letter.
This curriculum will guide you through the phonics techniques and methods proven to work in the Science of Reading studies. Lightly scripted individual lessons use literacy-themed content to develop vocabulary and comprehension.
The Sound Case allows all young children, especially those with dyslexia, to learn to read, write, and spell.
​
Online orientation videos help you use The Sound Case right out of the box.
Considering that 1 out of 5 children has dyslexia and 70% of fourth graders nationally are unable to read at grade level, waiting is not an option. The time is now to start teaching your 4-7 year old to read, write, and spell.
