The cost of the five-day training is $500.00. The $130 manual will be included in the cost of the program. The cost of the Precision Teaching workshop is $50.00.

NHPIN will sponsor the training. Jean Tucker, M.Ed., CCC-SLP will teach the course. It will be held at the Jean C. Tucker Communication & Education Skills at 92 Portsmouth Avenue, Suite 4, Exeter, New Hampshire.

The course uses published materials and techniques developed by Patricia and Charles Lindamood.*; it presents procedures for assessing and developing awareness of sounds in words as a basis for decoding and spelling. The LiPS training:

• examines the sensory and cognitive processes basic to reading and writing;
• explores the relationship of phonological awareness to language comprehension;
• provides study and supervised practice in techniques for developing phonological awareness;
• provides study and supervised practice in application to decoding, spelling, and sight vocabulary;
• teachs methods for developing self-generating and self-correcting behavior in oral and written language.

In addition to being prepared to use the LiPS™ program to develop the ability of young children to learn and read and to remediate reading difficulties of older children and adults, participants:

• develop and increase an understanding of how articulatory-motor feedback augments and supports phonological awareness;
• increase their knowledge of the phonological and syllabic structure of the English language.
