1. ABC dEcode® is a pre-phonics interactive program. Many individuals do not have the basic skills required to succeed using either whole-language or phonetic programming. The ABC dEcode® Program includes exercises for virtually every kind of reading preference. No one will ever do all of the exercises provided. As you progress, you will often come to sections that your student clearly does not need. Skip these sections to start at the beginning of the next section.
   
2. ABC dEcode® promotes reliable sounds/symbol relationship, auditory awareness, sound sequencing and blending skills.
   
3. Each sound, sound combination and exercise must be 100 per cent mastered before moving on to the next level. This program is designed as the primary foundation for ultimate reading skills. All subsequent programs are built on this foundation, so it must be solid.
   
4. It is important that all three modalities are utilized: reading of each sound or sound combinations; listening; and, writing or, if the child is too young, then pointing.
   
5. The methodology ensures a sense of success. There are many choices for reinforcement or practice of problematic skills.
   
6. Initially developed to teach reading, it was discovered that ABC dEcode® is highly successful in helping students with Central Auditory Processing Deficit, in addition to developing concentration and visual-focusing skills.
