More questions for Denton Kurtz:

Your statement that "auditory/phonological component of language" is 
behind the scenes, I would state this way - the phonological 
component is the foundation and prerequisite for literacy learning 
(i.e., learning which does not rely on memorization of sight words 
and which leads to successful decoding - which then will facilitate 
comprehension).

Tell me more about the FastForWord program.  We have adults whose 
perception of phonemes is so minimal that they are (as you say) 
"bogged down with the speed of processing."  How do you  fast forward 
persons with language based learning disabilities (LBLD)?

What types of rapid naming procedures do you use?

How do you deliver instruction if you do not "see people for 
tutoring"?  In my reading of the research, and my observations with 
people we serve, they all have "significant learning issues" around 
language processing, we "see people for tutoring?"  What do you do 
that is different/more effective?

I'll be interested to read about the Robin Morris research!

Thanks!
