This book, the result of intensive studies at the University of Queensland in Australia, is the first to deliver definitive and specific information regarding the presentation, identification, remediation and outcomes (in social, educational and vocational terms) of phonological core deficit (PCD)- based literacy difficulties in adolescents and secondary school students. Here, the author shares her experience working with these groups, which reveals that literacy difficulties present with characteristics different from those of many primary schools students are, perhaps, due to experiential knowledge, learned skills (e.g., sight word learning), and self-developed compensatory strategies. At some point in their secondary school experience, many students find these devices become insufficient and ineffective, and suddenly an 'A' grade student is failing. Marinac shows how psychological, social, and educational effects of such an occurrence can have devastating outcomes, yet the presence of PCD as a causal factor is only rarely suspected and even more rarely investigated in these cases.The assumption is that such deficits would have been evident and thus identified/remediated in primary school - this is not the case for many students.The book discusses in general terms the definitions and underlying deficits that may lead to literacy difficulties in secondary-school students going on to describe the characteristics, identification, remediation, and outcomes in terms of PCD.

Team Members: Carolyn Burrows, Speech Pathologist, Julie Marinac, Speech Pathologist, Kathryn Pitty, Learning Support Teacher Classroom Identification Instrument: printed manual plus record forms on CD-ROM Support Program: printed manual plus student activity book on CD-ROM This complete program helps students in Grades 8 to 12 improve phonological awareness, which is the primary cause for many students' specific reading disability. The program focuses on improving students' abilities to apply word attack skills, utilize phonic rules, listen to spoken words, and identify, remember and manipulate sounds. Through a blend of phonological awareness rules together with rules of grammar, students work through finely graded listening activities that highlight and demonstrate how words are constructed of sounds that can be segmented, isolated or manipulated. Included is a survey tool that provides objective data regarding "at risk" students. Although not a diagnostic tool, it provides proactive identification of students who require extra assistance to gain mastery over the phonological aspects of literacy.
