'Developing Phonological Awareness' by Yolanda Soryl is an easy to read handbook with many practical activities and suggestions for stories, songs and rhymes that will help your child acquire the six key skills for phonological awareness and success in literacy.

Research has clearly shown that phonological awareness is essential for reading: "The best single predictor of future reading achievement at school entry is phonological awareness." (Blachman, 2000; Ehri, Nunes, Willows, Schuster, Yaghoub-Zadeh, & Shanahan, 2001; Gillon, 2004; Goswami, 2001; Pressley, 2002).

'Developing Phonological Awareness' is easy to dip into to find fun and effective activities suitable for either parents to do with their own child or for teachers (E.C.E to Primary) in one-to-one, small group or whole class teaching. The activities are suitable from birth through to independent readers. To see some of the activities in action, go to the Yolanda Soryl channel on YouTube where five films of the author teaching from the book with her New Entrant pupils have been uploaded.

The book is designed to stand alone and can easily be used by anyone without special training. However, if you are interested in attending a workshop based on the book, please go to the Calendar page on the website http://www.phonicstraining.co.nz/html/calendar.htm to see upcoming courses.
