Phoneme

Rhyming: Zack could identify nine pairs of rhyming words. Initial phoneme isolation: Zack was unable to identify the initial phoneme. Initial phoneme matching Zack could identify matches of five sets of words. Final phoneme isolation Zack could identify the final phoneme of four words. Final phoneme matching Zack could identify matches of four sets of words. Phoneme blending Zack was able to blend five words. Phoneme segmentation Zack was unable to segment any words. Sound…

have your child follow along with his/her finger as you read a story. In the Phonological Awareness assessment syllable blending and pronouncing and phoneme alliteration and discrimination were some of his strengths. While on the other hand some of his weaknesses were syllable segmenting and counting, phoneme substitution, phoneme deletion, and phoneme isolation of medial sounds. Another strategy that could be helpful is counting the words in a line of print or clap for each word spoken to help…

Instead, he began saying, “ma-ma-ma.” This resulted in the VOT not being able to be determined. This is because there was no stop demonstrated by Mr. Hanson. The green box highlights were a silent gap should be occurring because the /p/ phoneme is a stop. This would be represented by a white or light grey section. The patient is not able to build up the pressure to create a release burst, which is why a stop was not able to be produced. The purple box shows the dark, low frequency, which…

and alliteration and be able to manipulate sounds in words. Phonemes are the smallest unit of spoken language (Yopp & Yopp, 2000, p. 130). The English language is made up of about 44 different phonemes (Yopp & Yopp, 2009, p. 3). For example, the word dog has one syllable which is made up of three phonemes /d/ /o/ /g/. Phonemic awareness is the realisation that all words are made up of a sequence of phonemes and that these phonemes can be taken apart, put back together, rearranged, omitted or…

For many years, there have been disagreements between the linguistic community about the role of allophones in distinctive feature theory. Many claim that the addition of allophones to feature theory would help further the investigation of language rules; others claim that they would be superfluous and unwieldy to work with. It is my opinion that allophones should be added to the distinctive feature theory models as a method of creating a deeper analysis of the formalization of phonological…

The Spelling In Parts Strategy (SIP) helped students improve spelling by breaking words into syllables, saying the syllables and spelling each syllable separately rather than looking at the word as a whole (Powell & Aram 2008). The success of this strategy seems to be based on the combination of hearing the word, using the common spelling patterns, focusing visual attention on the unusual patterns and dividing the words into chunks (Powell & Aram 2008). It has also been observed that there is…

The phonemes are less sharply defined. As a result of this weakness, children have difficulty breaking the reading code (Shaywitz, 2003). Phonemic awareness is the awareness of individual speech sounds and the ability to manipulate, combine, or isolate those…

beginning or end sounds in student names. Inform students that you are going to say a name and only enunciate the initial phoneme. Have students guess the name being said. Repeat as desired and also use for ending sounds. Can also be done with objects. Lay objects out on the table and have students guess the name of the item you are saying the name of after giving the phoneme. Activity Two: Have students sit in a circle. Prepare a bucket with picture cards inside. Play music and have…

Data Collection All qualitative studies share main principles of data collection (Merriam, 1998, 2009). “Qualitative researchers use three main techniques to collect and analyze their data: observing people as they go about their daily activities and recording what they do; conducting in-depth interviews with people about their ideas, their opinions, and their experiences; and analyzing documents or other forms of communication” (Fraenkel & Wallen, 2009, p.440). I will use interviews and…
