Hi, all,
I am looking for some suggestions on teaching phonemic awareness and
segmentation to older students (3rd and 4th grade). I have several students who
just don't get it, and they can read lots of words, but they are limited to the
words they know and don't know how to apply decoding
Hi Debbie,
We have found Lexia, both the Primary Reading (ages 5-8) and SOS
(Strategies for Older Students) to be successful with our 3rd and 4th
graders. It is a computer program that branches, depending on the
rate and accuracy of each student's responses. The program tracks
rate and
Hello, Debbie;
If phonemic awareness isn't developed by 1st grade (per Marilyn Adams; other
researchers say it's even earlier), it probably isn't going to develop.
What you're describing below for your older students is phonics - the match of
grapheme and phoneme. I suggest stepping back, and

I recently did a presentation on language and auditory processing, and these
problems may be related to a disorder in central auditory processing. Some
of the other symptoms are the following behaviors:
~75% are males
~normal pure tone hearing
~trouble following directions
~short attention
Mary,
Can you recommend a book/article/research/workshop that would be helpful in
understanding and working with students who struggle in the areas you
described. I tutored a first grader last summer that this seems to describe

Endangered Minds by Healy
