Visit the Equipped for Reading Success Asynchronous Book Study site to participate on your own and at your convenience.  Videos discussing the important information within each chapter and accompanying resources are provided.  A manual may be requested for use while engaging in learning with the asynchronous book study site from the TTAC William & Mary Library.  If you wish to purchase your own manual, it may be purchased by following this link.

As the manuals checked out from the TTAC William & Mary Library will need to be returned upon completion of the book study, Dr. Kilpatrick provided this booklet to parents during virtual learning time to use with their children to continue to provide phonological awareness activities (Response to Covid-19 and Distance Learning – Equipped for Reading Success).  This resource is out of print. Rosner-Program-to-support-EFRS-levels-.pdf (equippedforreadingsuccess.com)  Dr. Kilpatrick's activities are based on this resource.
