Simple Tools with Denise: Phonemic Awareness for Parents

Here’s a quick video that explains how to delete and substitute sounds or syllables from words for phonemic awareness practice. It shows different levels of cueing to help parents understand how they can make home practice successful. It’s based on a method taught by David Kilpatrick. 

Dr. Kilpatrick’s book on treating reading disorders is one of the best resources I’ve used. I’ve found it can help remediate articulation disorders that are complicated by weakness in phonological awareness, in addition to reading. The PAST assessment, from Kilpatrick’s  Equipped for Reading Success (EFRS) will help therapists determine where to start with each client. Referring to the EFRS manual will help determine what level of difficulty would be appropriate for therapeutic and home practice. 

See the link below for the PAST assessment, available for free. 

Although the EFRS Manual is copyrighted, there is similar material in the public domain that can be duplicated for home practice.
