Phonetics is the study and identification of speech sounds. The phonetic alphabet is not the same as the English alphabet, although there are many of the same characters. In the phonetic alphabet, there are 14 vowels sounds and 24 consonant phonemes. When speech-language pathologists use the phonetic alphabet for transcriptions with their clients, they are able to use the transcriptions to plan therapy lessons according to their speech and language disorders. Without the use of the phonetics, speech-language pathologists would have a difficult time keeping track of how their client is speaking. It would simply not be efficient to use the English alphabet as it only has 26 letters. As stated above, the phonetic alphabet consists of a total of…

writing activity, we had a terrific start. Mikel shared that his last name contains an r-controlled vowel. So, it was a joyous moment to hear that he retained the information I taught him during our last session. However, this assignment tugged on my heart in a different way. When I shared my excitement with Mikel’s reading specialist about our writing session, she shared the countless blank pages in his journal, explaining that Mikel struggles to write. A thought-provoking statement the reading…
I speak best through 7 letters: ABCDEFG. The musical alphabet. There is nothing more electrifying than the moment my instrument begins to spark. After hours of practice, perfected sounds from the composer’s mind come together to allow me to speak my own. I envision my music as a river that flows from the instrument to the audience’s ears. This river is composed of the same material as everyone who plays that piece, but it is directed and transformed by me in response to my emotions and…
those literacies affected me in the same way that my third language did. At 15 years old, I became obsessed with the Japanese language. I remember picking up a self-teaching book at Chapters and devouring it chapter by chapter, and the more I knew, the more I craved to know more. However, it was never my plan to learn to write in Japanese. I found their writing system beautiful, to be sure; but not to the point of dedicating myself to learning over two thousand characters spanning over three…

At first, I was very excited to learn the alphabet and finally get to write my letter. My mother brought out a book, where you had to trace the letter. As a child,…
out at once, not fully emphasising each letter. Once Jace got past that point in the alphabet he was running out of air in his little lungs, so he went slower and took pauses in between letters. I took this as an opportunity, I asked Jace to sing them again but to slow down in the beginning and take his time on MNOP. The letters and sounds blurred together. He did awesome the second time around! We high fived and got excited. I asked follow up questions on his name to assess his phonemic…
the materials; he was asking about words and using the clipboards to pretend to write. At a certain moment he would copy the word he saw on a card. He was very involved in the center.

He made letters and put them in envelopes then he put them in mailboxes for other kids. He was very active with the new center. He even signed in and signed out when he arrived and when he left for the…
