An evidenced-based, multidisciplinary, multisensory approach to the remediation of literacy problems, this new edition includes complete instructions and scripts for all group and individual activities, as well as worksheets and record/monitor sheets. Aimed at students aged 7.5 to 13 years, it is a finely graduated program that builds phonological processing skills from basic to the complex levels required for literacy. As students gain proficiency at each level of phonological ability, the program then provides corollary instruction and overpractice in word attack strategies for reading and spelling. Non-words and real words are provided for practitioners to apply the program flexibly according to the students real word reading ability. Once full alphabetic reading at the single syllable stage is established, metacognitive strategies to deal with irregular words are taught. Finally multisyllabic word reading/spelling and reading/spelling connected text are addressed.
