New Additions to the Intermediate and Adult Education Kit

Three modifications have been incorporated in the latest revision of the Discover Intensive Phonics intermediate and adult direct-instruction materials.

No alterations have been made to the excellent methodology, but a change in structure has enhanced the effectiveness of the decoding skills and allows older students to begin decoding multi-syllabic words following the introduction of the Five Phonetic Skills. As each of the subsequent 42 Sounds is taught, initial instruction is given using one-syllable words, following which students decode multi-syllabic words that incorporate the sounds they've been learning.

The new Intermediate and Adult manual will have the benefit of an appendix that will include games and activities, black-line masters for 42 Sounds cards and Most Common Words cards, and a correction guide. In addition, the Teacher's Kit will include a Vowels chart and a Five Skills poster.

As part of our new manual, each lesson features special help for ESL instruction. Since learning phonology is an essential part of learning English as a Second Language, and because the logical format of Discover Intensive Phonics helps ESL students break the code to English, we are pleased to offer this indispensable addition, free of charge! ESL instructions include pronunciation guides, Minimal Pairs activities, and additional teacher information. All ESL instruction within the manual is boxed and identified with an ESL icon:
