children need to develop a variety of skills and strategies One of the most essential is knowledge of the relationship between sounds and letters (phonics) Since 80% of words in the English language follow ‘rules’ or patterns, children familiar with a wide range of sound-toletter correspondences have a solid foundation to build on First Aid for Reading is a systematic, phonics-based program devised for children who are experiencing reading difficulties It would also be suitable for those coming to English for the first time, and readers wanting to ‘get ahead’ However, it is well suited for use in both primary and secondary schools by teach¬ ers involved in remedial programs Parents and tutors will find First Aid for Reading easy to follow, as specific instructions are given in each lesson Parents concerned about their child’s reading progress could also use this program at home We suggest that a suitable time be negotiated to suit parent and child At least two sessions per week are advisable It is important for parents to be patient and avoid frustrating situations or distractions which could prove negative for the child Praise should be lavish and frequent The Pretest on page has been designed to pinpoint which sounds are causing difficulty As First Aid for Reading is developmental in format, it is recommended that students begin at the page indicated, and then follow the program in sequence One lesson per session is sufficient Children overloaded with new material may lose interest and motivation Progress can be monitored by filling in the Score Card at the back of the book; this will indicate which sounds need revision When the child has completed the pro¬ gram to a level appropriate for his/her age (as determined by the teacher), repeat the test We are confi¬ dent that a real improvement will be evident, providing that the child does not suffer from a severe intellec¬ tual or auditory disability Although First Aid for Reading is phonics-based, students are encouraged to develop other reading strat¬ egies such as continuous checking for meaning, re-reading to find context cues, and looking for smaller, known words inside longer ones It is vital to offer praise when the child realizes an error has been made and self-corrects It is very important for tutors to talk about letter patterns learned in each lesson and think of similar examples Additional exercises, games, and stories have been included to reinforce the sound patterns learned in the lessons These activities will appeal to children and are easy for a parent to follow The main focus is on rhyming, which is invaluable in the development of basic literacy skills (reading, writing, and spelling) Many of the Revision Lessons include the Fish Game For durability, schools can laminate the cards Parents may want to photocopy the sheets onto cardboard Children enjoy playing with these cards, which are valuable as revision and as a reward for good work The Story Lessons feature words from the previous set of lessons, but several unfamiliar words may be included to help the child develop a variety of strategies essential for independent reading, such as read¬ ing on to find context cues To encourage a reluctant child to read a story aloud, read the title and then look at the illustration together Ask him/her to predict what the story could be about Have a guess yourself As the child reads, pause to allow him/her time to problem-solve Prompt when necessary, for example, “Try to sound out that word.”, “Read on to the end of the sentence.”, ‘That word means the same as ”, “What word starting with would make sense?” Praise any self-corrections made and congratulate the child for reading the story all by him/herself Included at the end of the book is a full listing of the approximately 2,500 words featured in this program and a Certificate for the student who successfully completes the course Good luck and enjoy First Aid for Reading! fm tidt tutor Sit the student down at a table, away from all noise and distractions Ask him/her to read across each line in turn (You may need to put a bookmark under the line to help him/her focus on the words) Encourage the student to “have a go”, but not prompt Incorrect responses may be tried again Circle those words that he/she cannot correctly read When he/she makes three or more errors in a single line, stop the pretest Important Note _ BJ,.b/ Start Here You have now established (as a rough guide) the level of reading at which the student is experiencing difficulty The Pretest list is carefully graded, from the simplest reading to the most advanced, and is directly keyed into the program itself The number opposite each set of words is the page number for the lesson which deals with that phonic group The student can begin the program at this point If other difficulties become apparent, you may need to selectively “visit” other earlier lessons What each lesson covers is clearly
