Equipped for Reading Success
David A. Kilpatrick's book, Equipped for Reading Success: A Comprehensive, Step-by-Step Program for Developing Phonemic Awareness and Fluent Word Recognition, is an excellent resource for improving a person's phonemic awareness abilities.
We administer the Phonological Awareness Screening Test (PAST) with all clients to determine a baseline in phonemic awareness ability. With learners who require additional intervention, we use Kilpatrick's One-Minute Drills found in this resource during tutoring sessions to further support phonemic awareness skills.
