This study analyses the effects of an intervention using "FonoMix Munmetoden" for phonemic and multisensory training. Its focus was studying the effects on phonological awareness, letter/sound connection, and decoding. Eight children with limited phonological awareness, in first grade, were selected on the basis of screening test results and were divided into two groups. The intervention group received phonemic and multisensory training; five days a week, 30 minutes each time, for six weeks. The control group only received their usual classroom-based training. Both groups were tested before and after the intervention to determine the results. The results show that the intervention group increased their phonological awareness, especially their phonemic awareness, compared to the control group. Both groups increased their letter/sound connection. Neither group increased their non-word reading, but the intervention group performed better at reading words than the control group did. The conclusion is that phonemic and multisensory training with "FonoMix Munmetoden" increases phonological awareness and decoding ability.
