Phonological awareness

Based on this diagnosis, a treatment plan has been established in order to assist J.A. with her speech. The focus of therapy would be to increase her intelligibility and focus primarily on limiting the frequency of phonological processes and increasing the functionally of her speech. The Cycles approach will be implemented to provide systematic correction of several phonemes simultaneously. This approach will also positively affect J.A. intelligibility more quickly given the multiple errors…

Phonological processing refers to the use of phonological information, specifically the sound structure of one’s oral language, in processing written language. It is important to identify individuals who struggle with phonological processing because it is an essential component to literacy. One of the standardized tests developed to measure phonological processing is the Comprehensive Test of Phonological Processing (CTOPP), it was published in 1999. In this paper we will discuss the purpose,…

Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing “Phonological Activation during Visual Word Recognition in Deaf and Hearing Children” will be looked at and compared to “Bilingual Deaf Students’ Phonological Awareness in ASL and Reading Skills in English” from Sign Language Studies. Both articles are looking at phonological abilities of deaf students. However, this is being done in two completely different ways. The hearing journal’s article wants to research the phonological activation in deaf children…

a. The Role of a Phonological Awareness in Reading Development Phonology is one of the most important components of a language. It is called building blocks of a language, and individuals must be able to access its phonology to learn the language. Phonology means the rules of sounds in the spoken language or the rules of hand movements in the sign language (Paul & Whitelaw, 2011). Phonology is fundamental for the development of reading skills. Acquiring phonology can lead to raising up…

Although it is not taught directly, phonological and phonemic knowledge continues to be applied in the later year levels. As these are skills that are crucial to decoding words and reading (Flint et al, 2017), I determined it was important to include these in my portfolio. I have tried to select resources and activities relating to phonological awareness that students can use on their own or in small groups as early finisher activities or as part…

Shaywitz lays out the “sea of strength” model of early identification where parents and teachers can easily see the warning signs of dyslexia (p. 93). The two key components are a weakness in getting to the sounds of words with strengths in thinking and reasoning, and then ensuring the child has assistance for their weakness and accommodations for their strengths (p. 93). Some early warning signs in the primary grades for dyslexia are a delay in speaking, difficulties with pronunciation or…

these fields can typically result in a speech disorder (Slices et al, 2007). Alternatively, a phonological impairment or disorder typically emphasizes problems resulting from delays in the maturation of the underlying phonological system. While many young children outgrow this difficulty many endure prolonged impairment, with a number of theorists proposing a correlation to be apparent between phonological impairment and early literacy development (Vellutino, Fletcher, Snowling, & Scanlon,…

language structures they use broaden and they become language risk takers and develop confidence in the way they communicate. Teaching the children oral language and giving them the tool to use it as a strategy is the foundation for learning to read. Phonological…

Practitioner’s Model of Reading Assessment I. Component Skills of Reading (pp. 2-8) A. Reading involves understanding written language. (p. 2) B. Five skills necessary for reading development: phonological awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and reading comprehension. (p. 2) 1. Phonological awareness –sensitivity to the structure of sounds in language 2. Phonics—relationship between phonemes and graphemes 3. Vocabulary—words and word meanings in language 4. Fluency—naming quickly…

Reading Sourcebook is called the phonological medley. The phonological medley equips students with the ability to use two syllable compound words. This lesson model assists students in becoming familiar with blending, deletion and segmentation. It is presented on chapter five titled Phonological Awareness and the lesson is on page 132. 2. Why did the approach appeal to you? What did you like about it? Why would you recommend it to other teachers? The phonological medley is a highly…
