Phonemic Awareness in Young Children: A Classroom Curriculum
Marilyn Jager Adams, Barbara R. Foorman, and Ingvar Lundberg
Published in 1998 by Paul Brookes Publishing
One of the areas that was relatively "new" when Marilyn
Adams authored "Beginning to Read" was phonemic awareness. This area
has been researched extensively for the past 20 years or so, but much of
that important research was not finding its way into instructional practice,
and to this day, it is very easy to find teachers who do not really understand
what phonemic awareness is, why they should teach it, or more importantly,
how they should teach it.
Ingvar
Lundberg, as part of his research into phonemic awareness,
developed a curriculum to teach children to develop phonemic awareness
as
early as possible. Marilyn Adams and Barbara Foorman further
examined this curriculum, and together they published the curriculum in
this book. The curriculum is effective and very easy to follow,
and short assessments to monitor the development of phonemic awareness
are provided.
This is a classic example of a "research-based" instructional
curriculum designed to build phonemic awareness in all children.
