How The Family Readers implement
phonemic awareness research
Activities of all the areas of research (especially identifying sounds) as listed here are included in each of the 72 Family Readers and Writing Activity Books.

The students acquire the skills, with repetition, leaving enough time to learn thoroughly before moving on to a more difficult manipulation.
