Auditory Sequential Memory Instructional Workbook
For the Development of Auditory Listening, Processing and Recall
of Numbers, Letters and Words
By Addie Cusimano, MEd Auditory Sequential Memory
Instruction Workbook is designed for the instructor to teach students how to
attend, listen and recall well to a series of numbers, letters and words. It
contains a teaching manual, sixty-six (66) pages of exercises and a reproducible
student record sheet. Easily administered in 5-10 minute sessions, it is highly
effective in helping students to develop this essential learning skill.
While much of what students hear in school is presented in context, a sizable
portion is not. Students must develop the skill of being able to attend, listen
and recall information presented in isolation or a series. This teaching
material improves a student’s ability in such areas as the recall of number
facts, the sequential order of letters in spelling, and vocabulary lists for
social studies and science.

Learning Disabilities: There is a Cure
A Guide for Parents, Educators and Physicians
By Addie Cusimano
Forty percent of American students are reading below grade level. Two
out of ten students are learning disabled (dyslexic). For years educator, in
search of the right reading approach for all children, have switched from a
sight approach, to a phonetic approach, to linguistic, to whole language, and
now, also to an integrated approach. Yet, none have proved to be completely
effective. Author, Addie Cusimano, has solved the dilemma by composing an
approach that works with all students, learning disabled and those who are not
learning disabled. Her program has been used with consistent success at a
private learning center that she operated for many years.
Addie Cusimano presents her secrets for success in this book. She
discusses many overlooked facets of learning, thinking, writing, studying, and
reading skill development, and offers solutions for educators, parents and other
professionals who work with students. Her preface is that learning disabled
students can and should be cured at an elementary level, and that the best
reading approach is one that would incorporate many more facets of learning than
are presently taught.
Ms. Cusimano's book, based on her many years of experience and success
with the diagnosis and remediation of students with learning disabilities,
offers a refreshing and assured method for the solution of America's academic
woes.

Visual Discrimination
Noting Differences in Frequently Misperceived Words
By Addie Cusimano
Beginning readers and students with visual discrimination problems
often confuse words that are similar. Some of the words that are most frequently
misperceived are was and saw, this and that, when and then, where and there, and
ever and every.
Visual Discrimination: Noting Differences in Frequently Misperceived Words was
developed after years of research and work with beginning readers and students
with visual discrimination weaknesses. This research resulted in identifying the
most frequently misperceived words and determining the techniques that were most
effective in developing visual discrimination.
This workbook is based on specific words that are most often misperceived by
beginning readers and students with visual discrimination weaknesses. It is
designed to teach students how to establish in their memory the differences
between similar words so that reading these words accurately becomes an
automatic response. Included in this workbook are a teacher’s manual and sixty
(60) exercises presented in a developmental fashion, utilizing teaching
techniques proven to be effective in expanding visual discrimination skills.
