[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Phonemic awareness is attained by mid-first grade. A child who struggles in this area is at risk for always being a struggling reader. It is very important to work on this area daily with fun and simple activities. Workbooks do not TEACH, they are practice at best. Phonemic awareness is not acquired through paper and pencil activities as it is actually an awareness of how the sounds (phonemes) in our language work. This is different from phonics. [/quote]

Yes, traditional phonics workbooks do not help  child acquire phonemic awareness, however the abcdrp workbooks are not traditional workbooks. They do not do any teaching; they are designed to be used with an adult interacting and responding to the child.  The adult does the teaching using the materials as a guide to what is most efficient.   They are very powerful and efficient activities to help a child develop every skill needed to become a proficient at decoding (reading) and encoding (spelling).

The primary focus of the system is decoding; however I have found by adding a spelling/dictation activity after each unit using sentences from the unit, the workbooks provide excellent practice in encoding (spelling). I have used them very successfully with students who are good readers (know their sight words well) but didn't learn decoding well.   They typically fly through one or two units in an hour lesson and quickly get up to speed.[/quote]
