the end of the last stanza that would read similarly to ‘the Brain is God as sound is to syllable.’ Sound and syllable barely differ in what they actually are only minor technicalities make them different. Sound is raw and unformed, whereas syllable is what humans have formed in their mind. Dickinson is trying to say that human brains and sound are raw, what has been there from the beginning; God and syllables are what humans have made up. Emily Dickinson is saying that God weighs just as much…

Adult acquired apraxia of speech (AOS) is characterized as a neurological communication disorder that demonstrates an impaired ability to plan or program motor movements necessary for speech (Davis, Farias, & Baynes, 2009). AOS is supraotentorial in nature and typically occurs in the left hemisphere (Duffy, 2013). Localization of AOS occurs in the dominant hemisphere’s structures and pathways that are responsible for the planning and programming of speech movements. The plan is what (i.e., motor…

Fluent speech is characterize by smoothness (i.e. lack of interruptions), speaking rate (i.e. not too fast not too slow), prosody (i.e. emotional intonation) and mental effort (i.e. effortless speech) parameters. Dysfluency in speech refer to any disorder in fluency parameters. In fact, all people are dysfluent in approximately 2% of their speech but about 5% of children and 1% of adults are dysfluent in more than 10% of their speech which are categorized as people who stutter. The most used…

Tonality is a phenomenon that is responsible for our perceptions and expectations of music. Schleuter compares tonality to “glue,” implying that it allows to make connections in music, transforming pitches and rhythms into continuous musical thoughts and ideas. Tonality is a learned ability that is obtained by applying tonal memory. Tonal memory is basically the ability to distinguish pitches from each other, allowing us to remember the contour of melodies and mimic them. When listening to a…

Prefixes are united with or placed at the beginning of words to alter or modify their meanings or to create entirely new words. A root word or word element from which other words are formed. It is the foundation of the word. The root conveys the central meaning of the word and forms the base to which prefixes and suffixes are attached for word modification.

Activity One: Students isolate 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…

knowledge/understanding of the word he or she spelled. Socrates says that a student learning to read and write might think the first syllable in Theaetetus is ’the’ and mistakenly think the first syllable in Theodorus is ’te’. According to Socrates, because this individual is wrong, this shows that an individual can have knowledge of how to spell, all-the-while having no knowledge of syllables and the basic rules of words. This is because the individual does not understand the structure and…

be a poem with ten syllables on each line, where five of which are stressed, and five are unstressed. This would make the metre pentameter, which often consists of five-stress duplets. Carol Ann Duffy’s Shakespearean sonnet, Rapture, is a good example of a poem with an organised, detectable rhythm, which forms a metre. Most lines appear to have five-stress duplets, as shown in line eleven: “from earth to heaven after rain. Your kiss”. The stress falls on every other syllable in the line, as…

need it. As they read the passage they are going to write down all the single syllable words they come across. Once the students have completed doing this they will group the words into the list based on the vowel sound. All the ones with long vowel sounds go in one list while those with short vowel sounds go in another. I will model this to the students by reading page 1 and 2 two them and when I come to a single syllable word I will write it down. For example, on page one it reads “On a cold,…
