This major revision of the popular Auditory Discrimination in Depth (ADD) program gives you the tools to develop the phoneme-sequencing ability that research documents as the best single predictor of success in learning to read and spell. The procedures in this program work to develop phonemic awareness, decoding, and spelling, even when a variety of other teaching procedures have not. They are effective across the full range, from elementary into professional adult levels.
This product successfully develops phoneme awareness—the ability to identify individual sounds and their order within words—for competence in reading, spelling, and speech. To aid you in promoting this development, you’ll have:
The LiPS program enables self-correction in spoken and written language. Using it, you’ll begin at the oral level with problem-solving activities and extend to multisyllabic and contextual levels of reading and spelling. Take advantage of a program whose scope is more basic and more extensive than traditional speech, phonics, and spelling and reading instruction. Use language to label the look and feel of phonemes. Bring phoneme awareness (and its relationship to speech, spelling, and reading) to a conscious level, from single phonemes through multisyllabic words.
Focus on the conscious processing of sensory information that enables met cognitive phonemic awareness-the lip, tongue, and mouth actions that produce the sounds students hear in words. Meet the needs of the significant proportion of children and adults who do not develop phonemic awareness through traditional instruction because such instruction provides activities that practice phonemic awareness rather than develop it.
Preventatively address the differences that exist in how individuals are genetically “wired” for phonemic awareness. Use this program to establish a hierarchy of processing ability that moves students in such small steps that even individuals with severe weakness advance from lower, concrete levels to higher, abstract levels of thinking. Teach students to use sensory information from feeling, seeing, and hearing to develop a feedback system that promotes self-correction in speech, reading, and spelling.
You’ll save time, work, and money because the procedures prevent failure for at-risk students. The procedures also markedly accelerate the reading and spelling development of students genetically endowed with phonemic awareness and help them become independent learners earlier in their academic experience. Problem-solving and cognitive development are helpful in other areas of learning, too, and they positively affect self-esteem and enjoyment of learning as well.
Application in grades K-3 significantly reduces grade retention and the need for referral for other services such as speech therapy, special education, remedial reading, and so on. Individuals with organic conditions such as cerebral palsy, cleft palate, hearing impairment, developmental delay, and traumatic brain injury have been found to make further development in spoken and written language performance when phonemic awareness is stimulated through these sensory-cognitive procedures.
