Two examples of other informal reading assessments are the Phonics Mastery Survey and Phonemic Awareness Assessments. The Phonics Mastery Survey is an informal tool for assessing various phonics elements. This assessment measures a student’s ability to recognize consonant sounds, rhyming words, consonant digraphs, long vowel sounds, words with CVC patterns, consonant blends, variant vowel sounds, and syllables in words (DeVries 2011 p.112). A student’s ability to use knowledge of sound/letter correspondences to decode words, determines his or her ability to read individual words. Knowing the skills that the students possess will assist the teacher in selecting reading tasks that offer the most effective reinforcement of those phonics skills.…
Kay Jones, a 4-year, 6-month old female was referred on August 31, 2011. Kay’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jones, reported concerns with speech intelligibility and desired to have Kay referred. Kay was formally assessed to identify her strengths and weaknesses, as well as comparing her scores to children her age. Formal Assessment The Hodson Assessment of Phonological Patterns, Third Edition (HAPP-3) is an objective, standardized dynamic assessment instrument.…
1. The name of the technique, the chapter and the pages. The name of the technique presented in the CORE Teaching 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.…
Pre-Course IPE Paper Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists are two professions that must work with many different professions across the many different settings—hospitals, clinics, or schools. The first assigned reading brings many questions up about Speech Pathologists and Audiologists working with other health-care professions. Ultimately, the goal of each profession working with each other is the health and well-being of the patient.…
Complications of Speech-Language Pathologists The challenges that Speech-Language Pathologists experience on a day to day basis are not commonly recognized by people who are not knowledgeable in the field. There are many hours and preparation time that Speech-Language Pathologists dedicate every day to make sure that they are helping his or her disorder(s). They work hard to ensure the parents and children that they will receive the help he or she needs to develop control over his or her disorder(s). “Nearly 10 million Americans, or 1 out of every 20 persons, suffer from a speech-language disorder.”…
This assessment assesses the child’s knowledge about letters. Students are also allowed to give the correlating sound or word if they cannot say the letter’s name. This is different from other letter recognition assessments because teachers can see what all a students knows about a letter versus them saying that letter’s name. She scored a 54/54. She recognized all letters (upper and lowercase) with no hesitation.…
Academic Review Reading Fluency Daniel’s reading fluency at roughly a fourth grade level. He is currently being progress monitored at a fourth grade level as his AIMSweb fall benchmark score placed him below the 10th percentile. After reading seven fourth grade passages this year, Daniel has averaged 83 WRC (words read correctly) with 8 errors. This score would put him in the 25th percentile compared to fourth grade students attending Robinson School. He has read as many as 106 WRC and as few as 52 WRC.…
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, normative sample, reliability and validity of the CTOPP.…
These assessments evaluate different areas of literacy. There are six areas of evaluation for literacy are oral language, phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. While researching the different assessments I found a large number of schools that use the Phonological Awareness Literacy…
In the last ten years, there has been increasing interest in phonological short-term memory and its relationship to second language acquisition. Phonological short-term memory capacity has been associated specifically with vocabulary acquisition. For example, Papagno and Vallar (1995) showed ____________________. The study by Speciale, Ellis, and Bywater (2004) have also supported the relationship between STM and the learning of vocabulary, showing that the capacity of the phonological store places constrains on lexical acquisition. Kormos and Safar (2008) found a relationship between short-term memory and general language performance.…
Does language have a positive effect on phonemic awareness in several demographic groups? If so, what patterns emerge from among the demographic groups when compared to each other. Hypothesis: Students with theoretical or assessed deficits in language will have a significantly lower score in phonemic awareness when compared with their counterparts.…
The IDEA’s definition of communication disorders consists of having an impairment that affects speech or language and includes stuttering, language, voice or articulation impairment that interferes with his or her educational performance. However, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) has a similar but a more precise description of communication disorders which involve a speech impairment involving articulation of his or her speech, fluency, sound or voice. The ASHA definition of a language disorder involves an impairment or abnormal development in comprehension or the language system (Taylor, Smiley, & Richards, 2015). Prevalence of Emotional and Communication Disorders For more than twenty years, the U.S. Department of…
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 comprehension, language structures and vocabulary knowledge (Paul, Wang, & Williams, 2013).…
`Pronunciation Syllabus TESL 566 Fall 2016 Carson-Newman University Introduction I Am an Arab student, and also an English teacher in my country, here in Saudi Arabia.

Summary This article mainly focuses on phonological awareness. At the beginning, the article explains that phonological awareness is focusing on the sounds of the language rather than the meaning of it. It emphasizes that young children need to develop phonological awareness because it will help them understand letter-sound relationships later on.…
