Phonological Awareness Flashcards
The ability to identify discrete linguistic units that comprise the speech signal.
This is _________ Awareness
Phonological Awareness
What are characteristics of Phonological Awareness? (2)
- Developmental in nature
- occurs on a continuum from shallow–> deep
what are 2 skills (benchmarks) observed during the shallow phase of phonological awareness?
- Rhyme
- Alliteration: same word in initial morpheme
Example of:
- Rhyme:
- Alliteration:
- Rhyme: ‘ball’ ‘mall’
- Alliteration: ‘me’ ‘moon’
What is ‘deep level’ of phonological awareness? (2)
- ability to compare, contrast, and manipulate phonological segments within and across syllables & words
- word manipulation
What is a skill that emerges at ‘deep level’?
________—> ________–> Ex:
word manipulation –> ability to get 2 words from one word –> Ex. ‘stew’ and ‘two’
what is the highest level of phonological awareness?
Definition:________
_______ Awareness
ability to segment words or syllables into their phonological segments (phonemic awareness)
Ex: cat –> /k/ /ae/ /t/
What is the continuum of phonological awareness?
______ –> ______ –> ________
Awareness of words –> syllables –> phonemes
At what ages do awareness of rhyme & alliteration emerge?
2-3 yrs.
Why is awareness of syllables an important part of phonological awareness?
recognize multisyllabic words can be segmented at syllable level
At what age does awareness of phonemes and phonemic structure of words emerge?
6-7 yrs
What is phonemic analysis?
ability to sequentially isolate all the individual sounds in a syllable or word
what is phonemic synthesis?
ability to take a sequence of phonemes and build them into a larger linguistic unit
Are phonemic analysis & synthesis important for reading? Why?
yes, bc both show awareness between phonemes and words
What develops more rapidly, Synthesis or Analysis?
synthesis
