"At Last, a Reading Method for Every Child" by Mary Pecci

970-493-3793

Online Reading Teacher

A book rather than a program. Seems to be targeted at homeschoolers. Every word is decoded with intensive phonics — while the powerful, meaning-based context of the literature-based readers assists decoding and captivates interest.

Lindamood Phonemic Sequencing Program (LiPS)

800-233-1819

Lindamood-Bell

The Lindamood Phonemic Sequencing Program successfully stimulates phonemic awareness. Individuals become aware of the mouth actions which produce speech sounds.? This awareness becomes the means of verifying sounds within words and enables individuals to become self-correcting in reading and spelling, and speech.?
It is common for individuals to gain several grade levels in decoding ability in four weeks to six weeks of intensive instruction, or to make further gains in speech-language after hitting a plateau under traditional speech therapy.
