In recent years, scientists have made great strides in understanding how children learn to read, but also in how to prevent and correct most reading difficulties. However, the American Federation for Teachers, the Journal of Learning Disabilities, and School Psychology Review, have all highlighted the fact that these scientific findings have not yet become widely known or used in our schools. Equipped for Reading Success is designed to summarize these research results in a clear and easy-to-read manner, bringing teachers up-to-date on these exciting findings. More than an explanation of current research, Equipped for Reading Success is a complete program for training phonemic awareness. Research has shown that contrary to our intuitions, phonemic awareness is important for remembering the words we read (sight word recognition), not just for developing phonic decoding skills. Equipped for Reading Success uses a developmentally appropriate approach designed to boost phonemic awareness, phonics, and instant word recognition. Equipped for Reading Success also gives teachers concrete tools to help children develop a large sight vocabulary. In addition, it is designed to supplement any existing reading program or approach. Implementing the program requires minimal planning and only several minutes of instruction per day. With today's emphasis on Response to Intervention (RTI), Equipped for Reading Success provides the much needed "research-based" content to make your RTI efforts successful. Equipped for Reading Success is 1) preventive in kindergarten and first grade, 2) provides remedial help for struggling readers, and 3) can accelerate the progress of students with learning disabilities, thus providing interventions for all three tiers of RTI.
