Introduction
There were two purposes of this conducted study. The main focus of the study was to show the ability to produce the blending portion of the Promoting Awareness of Sounds in Speech (PASS) program. The program is a phonological awareness intervention course of study for speech and language impairment in preschool children. The second purpose was to see hoe the intervention or these preschool children effected their speech and language impairments. There were 11 children with language and speech impairments who the PASS module was implemented on.

There are multiple factors that can play a role in developing literacy problems. Phonological and phonemic awareness are two factors that link to successful early intervention as well as strong linguistic skills. Reading and writing skills in typically developing children as well as children who have a disability are linked back to phonemic awareness. Several studies have been conducted on elementary school ages students on phonological awareness, but not as many have been conducted on preschool aged children. Research has found that the earlier phonological awareness is taught, the easier and quicker children will learn to read and write. PASS used existing research and built upon several approaches in order to create a comprehensive curriculum that teaches phonological awareness for just the preschool aged

    Accordingly, phonological awareness can be developed before reading mastery to facilitate the subsequent attainment of reading skills. Effective phonemic awareness instruction educates participants to identify, think about, and manipulate sounds in spoken language. Phoneme segmentation and Phoneme blending are two essential elements of this instruction. Different researchers have conducted numerous studies on the effectiveness of this technique. The studies show that children who utilize this technique are able to hear sounds in words, divide words and show an understanding of letter-sound correspondence. Elkonin Boxes" are easy to create by simply drawing squares on a flat surface or a piece of paper. The use of the templates with manipulative to represent each sound makes the task both multisensory and concrete. Words with consonant-vowel-consonant patterns can be stretched out to make it easier for the beginner. However, the technique equally works well with more advanced readers. This segment discusses three primary types of research conducted to determine the effectiveness of this technique in

    Phonemic Awareness and Alphabetic Principle in addition to Phonics and Decoding Skills provide students with early skills of understanding letters and words in order to build their reading and writing skills. Students will need to recognize how letters make a sound in order to form a word. While each word has a different meaning to be to format sentences. While reading strategies for Reading Assessment and Instruction, I was able to find three strategies for Phonemic Awareness and three strategies for Alphabetic Principles which will provide advantage for the student in my research and classroom settings.

    These studies revealed that students with moderate to severe disabilities have the potential to benefit from phonemic awareness and phonics instruction. The ELSB curriculum supports these studies by providing phonemic awareness and phonics instruction. In addition, it provides an option for students who need to use augmentative communication, who do not have phonemic awareness skills and who may need more repetitions to learn. The ELSB can be used either with a small group of students or individually. Additionally, teacher scripts are provided so that teachers know how to word the introduction of each skill and to keep the lesson moving at a quick

    The FLaRE (Florida Literacy and Reading Excellence) Center has published a professional paper entitled “Phonemic Awareness” of which I will be presenting a critical review. Phonemic awareness is one of the five essential components of reading identified by the National reading Panel (Learning Point Associates, 2004). Phonemic awareness can be defined as a person’s understanding that each word we speak is comprised of individual sounds called phonemes and that these sounds can be blended to form different words (Learning Point Associates, 2004). The article was intended to give a synopsis of phonemic awareness and the vital role it plays in a literacy program. I found the article to be very clear and concise presenting valuable tactics that can be applied in the classroom.

  • Phonological And Summative Assessment: Phhonological And Phonemic Awareness

    Looking upon my time here at Central Michigan, I recall in previous courses that phonemic awareness is how we interpret the sounds in a word. Essentially, being able to hear and identify these sounds of our language. After deeply focusing on Phonological and phonemic awareness over the course of a few weeks, it is clear that my prior knowledge isn’t far off. Both of these skills involve sound and can be processed with eyes closed—no printed material. After much research, these skills are vital to a child and their development; they aid in spelling, alphabetic principle, and letter-sound correspondence. If this skill is not obtained by a child, he or she will have a difficult time with reading and comprehension in addition to poor spelling.

  • Phonological Awareness Essay

    1190 Words  | 3 Pages

    The first few years of elementary school are crucial for students to build these skills which contribute to stronger reading and writing. The article which I found difficult to gain information to implement in my classroom was “The Relationship Between Phonological Awareness and Reading: Implications for the Assessment of Phonological Awareness” written by Hogan, Catts, and Little. This article described a study based on how phonological assessment could predict the reading level of students in early school grades. The study administered assessments to kindergarten, second grade, and fourth grade students on phonological awareness, letter identification, word reading, and phonetic decoding. The results of the study showed phonological awareness in kindergarten predicted word reading in second grade, the level of word reading in second grade then predicated the phonological awareness skills in fourth grade. Although this study was interesting and provided valuable information on phonological awareness, I cannot see myself using any of this information within my high school classroom. There is a huge gap between elementary school students and high school student’s development level. Once I have my own classroom and begin to educate student in these area I may find a connection or correlation, however, at this point in time I do

    Environmental modifications serve as one type of intervention for APD (Bellis, 2003). These modifications are “intended to improve the individual’s access to auditory information by enhancing the clarity of the acoustic signal and facilitating listening and learning in the academic, home, work, or social environment” (ASHA, 2005a). Examples of environmental modifications include preferential seating, use of visual aids, use of assistive listening systems, architectural intervention to “reduce reverberation and improve the signal-to-noise ratio” (ASHA, 2005a).

    Phonological awareness (PA) involves a broad range of skills; This includes being able to identify and manipulate units of language, breaking (separating) words down into syllables and phonemes and being aware of rhymes and onset and rime units. An individual with knowledge of the phonological structure of words is considered phonologically aware. A relationship has been formed between Phonological awareness and literacy which has subsequently resulted in Phonological awareness tasks and interventions.This relationship in particular is seen to develop during early childhood and onwards (Lundberg, Olofsson & Wall 1980). The link between PA and reading is seen to be stronger during these years also (Engen & Holen 2002). As a result Phonological awareness assessments are currently viewed as both a weighted and trusted predictor of a child's reading and spelling and ability.
