Phonological Awareness Training for Reading 2nd edition

Phonological Awareness Training for Reading–Second Edition (PATR-2) increases the level of phonological awareness in young children. The program is divided into four phases:

• warm-up
• sound blending
• sound segmenting
• reading and spelling

The warm-up phase includes rhyming activities to focus attention on the sounds in words. Following the warm-up phase, the formal training program begins with activities to blend individual sounds to make words. The third phase addresses the more difficult segmenting activities. In the final phase of instruction, students use letters to represent the phonemes in words and learn to use their phonological awareness skills in reading and spelling.

Appropriate for either individual or group work, Phonological Awareness Training for Reading, Second Edition takes about 12 to 14 weeks with short sessions 3 to 4 times per week.

New features of the second edition include:

• Newly updated research
• Easy to follow lesson plan format which includes teacher scripts
• Student Progress Record
• CD-ROM which includes reproducible Appendixes A – H and the “Phoneme Pronunciation” audio file
