A contributing cause of decoding and spelling problems is difficulty in hearing sounds in words. This can cause problems with leaving out, substituting, and reversing sounds and letters within words. Individuals with weak phonological processing cannot get the words off the page: they cannot judge whether what they say matches what they see. Many children and adults have difficulty judging sounds within words. Although they see letters correctly, they cannot detect and correct their errors in reading and spelling. This causes:
-
Errors such as "steam" for stream, "imagination" for immigration, "claps" for clasps, etc.
-
Errors such as "gril" for girl, "cret" for correct, "eqeutment" for equipment, etc.
-
Errors such as "death" for deaf, "flusterated" for frustrated, etc.
The Lindamood Phonemic Sequencing® (LiPS®) Program successfully stimulates the auditory discrimination and phonemic awareness necessary for successful reading skills. Individuals become aware of the mouth actions which produce speech sounds. This awareness becomes the means of verifying sounds within words and enables individuals to become self-correcting in reading and spelling, and speech.
Lindamood-Bell® Learning Processes have authored programs to develop language and literacy skills that help individuals learn to their potential.
