Phonological awareness

2009). The disagreements appear to lie in twofold: how many causes underpin dyslexia and whether or not the deficit is language specific (Jones, 2008). The most widely accepted casual theory of dyslexia in the last forty years has been the phonological deficit hypothesis, in which the cognitive deficit of dyslexia is specific to the representation and processing of speech sounds (Ramus, 2003; Ramus, 2004; Vellutino et al., 2004).…

‘A critical analysis of theoretical perspectives related to dyslexia’ In this essay I will be demonstrating the critical understanding of key theoretical perspectives on the cause of dyslexia (phonological processing, magnocellular and cerebellar aspects. I will also be researching and reviewing relevant literature exploring key issues such as identification, co-morbidity, international views on dyslexia. This essay will allow me to study dyslexia in depth and broaden my knowledge on its…

& Pullen, P. (2015)). Dyslexia has a wide area of issues within the learning disability spectrum (Hallahan, D., Kauffman, J., & Pullen, P. (2015)). There are multiple difficulties that a child might have if they are dyslexic, including, phonological awareness, visual processing, working memory, and information processing speed (Hartas, D. (2006)). Learning what dyslexia is,…

rime through the kinesthetic activity of bending knees on the onset and jumping on the rime. APPROPRIATENESS OF ACTIVITIES FOR TARGETED STUDENTS Rhyme Jump is especially appropriate for kindergarten students who are having difficulty with phonological awareness (the ability to hear sounds in words). Being able to divide a syllable into an onset and rime and to group words that end in the…

cousin’s name is Jaiden, who turned six in April. Jaiden has just recent entered kindergarten this past fall. He has some minor behavioral problems. I received his parents’ permission. The assessments I administered were The Print Awareness, The Phonological Awareness, The Letter Recognition, and The Listening Comprehension Assessment. Next, these are some observations that were made about the student. First, the student did understand the instructions and followed my directions, but he had a…

In the first article "What reading does for the mind" Anne E. claims that reading makes you a smarter person, the more you read the more you get better and overcome other forms of knowledge that had been transformed in development of the cognitive abilities. The more you read the more you increase and enrich your vocabulary more than talking or listening. Reading is the base of learning a language. The research " Teaching Reading Is Rocket Science" shows that a child who does not learn the…

belief that a child with a phonological disorder should be guided towards the normal route of development in improving intelligibility through the use of active parent involvement within the treatment process (Bowen, 1999). PACT is unique in that it actively involves parents in predetermined individual clinician-child interactions during “therapy blocks” followed by “breaks” in which parents continue to deliver aspects of intervention that account for gradual phonological acquisition. This…

List of Previous Testing/Records Reviewed: Genesis’s initial psychoeducational assessment in 2015 suggested general learning difficulties according to the WISC-V. Genesis’s Full Scale Score on the WISC-V was unable to be calculated due to an invalid subtest score, which contributed to the FSIQ (Verbal Comprehension=Extremely Low; Visual Spatial=Extremely Low; Fluid Reasoning=Average; Working Memory= Average; Processing Speed=N/A). Specifically, Genesis displayed difficulty with tasks that…

sound disorder incudes problems with articulation and phonological processes that persist beyond the age of acquisition. A speech sound disorder can affect both children and adults, and subsequently can have a social or educational impact on individuals across the lifespan. Speech-Language Pathologists have taken an influential role in treating speech sound disorders. Treating the various speech sound disorders related to articulation and phonological disorders is important due to the social…

lack of carryover into conversation. Dean recently used a self-monitoring chart to increase his awareness of accurate speech sounds and to slow his rate of speaking. He marked the chart each time he said the following target sounds correctly: /k/, /sl/, /bl/ and /fl/. This activity was motivating for Dean since a special treat was received after the completion of the chart. Dean currently shows an awareness of his speech sounds and often self-corrects during therapy activities. He does not…
