We
believe it is a great tragedy that educators across America have not
chosen to make dictionary level phonics part of every language training
program, because whenever we use a word, we are involved with phonics. A
knowledge of the phonetic version of words provides a mastery over the
English language simply not available through any other language
training technique. With the possible exception of those with below
average intellect who might need to concentrate on a functional level of
language skill, every English speaking person can benefit from phonics
training. We hold the belief that society is missing an important
segment of language training, because those who use language in their
livelihoods will find phonics skills every bit as useful as an
understanding of good grammar.
So
who can benefit from America's Phonics:
- Every elementary student of at least average
intellect can benefit from the omni-directional methods of America's
Phonics.
- Every elementary student of at least average
intellect who has difficulty working with words can benefit from the
multi-sensory methods of America's Phonics.
- Every elementary student of at least average
intellect with an attention problem can benefit from the highly
varied nature of exercises in America's Phonics.
- Every elementary student of at least average
intellect who has a special affinity for computers can be motivated
by the extensive computer exercises in America's Phonics.
- Every elementary student of at least average
intellect, with normal word skills, who has fallen behind in
conventional programs can be helped to achieve grade level through
the varied methods of America's Phonics.
- Every person of at least average intellect
who has a pronunciation problem can benefit from the sound
capabilities of America's Phonics.
- Every person of at least average intellect
who has a problem with a regional or foreign accent can be helped
through standard English sound drills using America's Phonics.
