Q

What are PA skills are closely tied to?

A

Q

What is Alliteration?

A

Two words sharing a phoneme in the same position.

24
Q

Where in a word is Alliteration found?

A

Usually the initial position but can be in final

25
Q

Can identifying alliteration be easier in certain contexts?

A

Yes

(e.g., children are more likely to identify initial phoneme matches in words that have the same vowel nucleus, such as cape and cane).

26
Q

What is the most difficult Phonological Awareness Activity?

A

The explicit manipulation of phonemes

27
Q

What are two examples of Phonological Awareness Activities?

A

Phoneme blending (e.g., /d/ /a/ /g/ = dog)

Phoneme segmentation (cat is made up of the phonemes /k/ /a/ /t/)

28
Q

Do Phonological Awareness Activities reflect deep or shallow levels of awareness

A

Deep

29
Q

Successful phoneme awareness requires ______.

A

Strong phonological representations

30
Q

What are Strong Phonological Representations?

2

A

The underlying form of the phoneme

How it’s stored in long term memory

31
Q

Many children with speech sound disorders have weak or __________ and thus struggle with more difficult tasks such as _____ and _____.

A

Underspecified phonological representations

Blending

Segmenting

32
Q

Though phonological awareness is intimately linked to ______, the relationship is not ______ or ______in nature.

A

Reading success

Causal

Predictive

33
Q

Besides phonological awareness, other skills such as ______ and _______ skills also play a crucial role in reading development.

A

Letter identification

Letter-sound correspondence

34
Q

Children with ______ and good ______ skills will likely be more successful readers whereas children with poor skills in these areas will struggle with _____.

A

Good PA

Letter-sound correspondence

Decoding

35
Q

It is important when possible to identify children’s speech sound errors as ______ or ______ in nature.

A

Phonological

Articulatory

36
Q

In particular, children with phonological delays/ disorders are at greater risk for ______ and ______ due to the ______ and ______ difficulties associated with phonological disorders (especially those with atypical error patterns).

A

Phonological Awareness

Literacy difficulties

Linguistic

Cognitive

37
Q

Conversely, research has shown that children with ______ have less risk of later reading deficits because the impairment is not ______.

A

Articulation/ motor-based speech impairments

Linguistic in nature

38
Q

However, “less risk” is not ______; therefore, all children with speech sound disorders should be closely examined and monitored for appropriate growth in the areas of ______ and ______.

A

“No risk”

Phonological awareness

Literacy

39
Q

Two factors contribute to the risk-level for reading impairment: _____________ and ___________.

A

Persistent speech sound errors that are still present at the start of kindergarten/ literacy instruction

Comorbid language impairments

40
Q

Children with speech sound errors in kindergarten who display good PA skills and good early literacy skills may develop _______ to help them achieve success in _______ and ________.

A

Compensatory strategies

Phonological awareness

Early literacy skills.

41
Q

However, as reading demands increase – especially in third grade and beyond when instruction shifts from _______ to _______ – children who had SSD early on will begin to struggle.

A

“Learning to read”

“Reading to learn”

42
Q

Again, it is important to conduct thorough assessments of _______ in children with speech sound disorders and, as in nearly all cases, _______ is advised.

A

Phonological awareness

Earlier intervention

43
Q

The role of the speech-language pathologist in oral and written language is ______.

A

Crucial

44
Q

The ____________ necessary for success with decoding and spelling can be something with which children who have ___________ struggle.

A

Grapheme-to-phoneme correspondence

Phonological deficits (i.e., speech sound disorders or dyslexia)

45
Q

SLPs can, and should, foster the ________ and _______ during articulation or phonological treatment.

A

Alphabetic principle

Phonological awareness

46
Q

It is important to work on the “________” and not just the speech production.

A

Entire disorder

47
Q

Just as it would be inappropriate to assess complex language inferring skills or production of the /r/ phoneme in all linguistic contexts in a 3-year-old child, it is inappropriate to assess __________ with a child that age.

A

Complex levels of phonological awareness

48
Q

It may be helpful to get baseline levels of _______ in a young child, with the understanding that they are used to _______.

A

Phonological awareness

Monitor growth

49
Q

For school-aged children, what should phonological awareness assessment aim towards?

(4)

A

Progress monitoring

Determining the cause or symptoms of a reading/spelling difficulty

Goal writing

Treatment planning

50
Q

Do norm-referenced assessments consider options for children with speech production errors?

A

Not usually

51
Q

What an example of the issues with rhyming in norm-referenced measures?

(3)

A

A child exhibits consistent gliding of liquids, /l/ and /r/.

The child is asked to produce rake without /k/ and says “way” [instead of “ray”].

In this example, is the child right or wrong? Most norm-referenced tests would say “wrong”.

52
Q

How can Criterion-Referenced Measures be used with Phonological Awareness?

(2)

A

Assess children’s abilities.

Can compare a child’s ability to that of curriculum-based standards (not their peers)

53
Q

Can SLPs can create their own criterion-referenced assessments based on their local school district standards?

How is this useful?

A

Yes

To help eliminate the bias and over/ under estimation that can happen with norm-reference tests

54
Q

Criterion-Referenced Measures, when used in combination with other assessments (norm- or criterion-referenced) and child-level factors (i.e., maternal education, etc.), have been shown to be quite accurate in ___________.

A

Determining future reading abilities

55
Q

How can we promote Phonological Awareness in School-Age Children with Speech Sound Disorders?
