The Student Course

The student course offers a series of video lessons designed around the 10 phonemic awareness skill levels (E-N) that appear in Equipped for Reading Success by David Kilpatrick.  Each level has multiple lessons, depending on the difficulty of the skill.

 

A quiz at the end of each level helps determine a student's readiness to move on.

My students reading scores have improved.  I found that using the already-prepared lessons saves teacher planning time and Sound-Mappers provided my students with a unique type of intervention.
