Book excerpt: This classic step-by-step program introduced by three esteemed pioneers in the field of LD, has been used widely for teaching reading to children who fail to learn by conventional methods. The manual presents a unique one-to-one remedial program that differs from other intensive phonics programs in the consistency with which sound-symbol relationships are presented and reinforced. Although originally designed for use with reading disabled children, Phonic Remedial Reading Lessons has been used successfully with children and learners of all abilities. Is it multisensory? You bet! The program uses a grapho-vocal method in which the student is instructed to visualize, write, say, and hear the sounds simultaneously as each phoneme is introduced. The key to its effectiveness is clearly the single sound-symbol relationship that remains constant throughout the lessons. With extensive reinforcement and frequent review, this format promotes errorless responses that provide a feeling of success and increased motivation.
