109 SG 5 Flashcards
(33 cards)
words that begin with the same sound; having same sound in initial position of the word occurring in words that are adjacent to each other
Alliteration
- Is the umbrella term that encompasses a sensitivity to any size unit of sound
- Rhyming, alliteration, and syllable segmentation
Phonological awareness
- Understanding that words are made of individual sounds aka phonemes
- A subtype of phonological awareness
- Isolating a phoneme within a word, recognize the same sound in different words, segment phonemes, and substitute phonemes
Phonemic awareness
Impairments involved in written language disorders (ASHA Practice Portal)
- Fluent word recognition
- Reading comprehension
- Written spelling
- Written expression
- Adoption of an emergent literacy viewpoint
Reading readiness model - A trend away from the whole language model toward instruction in explicit skills
- A realization that reading and language are language-based activities
Why are SLPs involved in literacy
- There were prerequisites to learning to read
Certain visual, auditory, and linguistic skills needed to be attained
A mental age of 6.5
Reading readiness model
Now recognized literacy skills are emergent way before elementary school, as early as infants
Emergent literacy model
- Advocates that reading and writing can be learned naturally as listening and speaking
- Never any research supporting this
Whole language philosophy
Teaching the child language explicitly
Instruction in explicit skills
How is oral language is related to skills in reading and writing
Good oral language skills translate to good literacy (reading and writing)
Statistics regarding comorbidity rates between reading disabilities and specific language impairment.
40-75%
- Reading decoding
- Word recognition
- Reading fluency
- Reading comprehension
The components of reading (ASHA Practice Portal)
- Fluent word recognition
- Reading comprehension
- Written spelling
- Written expression
Signs and symptoms of written language disorders
Three levels at which children should be assessed for reading and writing skills
- The emergent level (birth to preschool)
- Early elementary level (k- 3rd grade)
When children are learning to read - The later levels (grade 4 and above)
When children are expected to read to learn
- How to hold a book right-side up
- How to turn the pages
- That print is read in English from left to right, from the top to bottom
- That the “squiggles” on the page say the same thing, no matter who is reading them
- Some children may naturally pick up some sight words
Emergent literacy behaviors
What kinds of books are good for infants
- Repetitive
- Alliterative
- Rhyming
- Books that represent real life
Considerations given to children with special needs
Expose child to print and encouragement for emergent literacy
- Tracking print with your finger will call children’s attention to print
- Asking questions
Print referencing techniques
- Can you find the first word on this page? How about the last one?
- Show me a word on this page
- Count the words on this page with me
- Where’s the letter M (or any letter) on this page?
- Are there any letters on this page that are in your name, too?
Questions to ask for print referencing
Corrective feedback
Give warm praises for correct answers, help the child with incorrect answers
- Assess letter identification
- Assess early reading skills
- Check comprehension
- Assess early writing skills
- Assess other literacy-related skills embedded in traditional language assessment
Assessment of literacy at the early elementary level
- Counting the child’s words per minute
Counting the words then dividing it by the time
A quantitative measurement for reading fluency
- Assess more advanced knowledge of written language
Distinguishing between literary genes
Identifying purposes
Explaining affixes
Explaining words with multiple meanings
Explaining figurative language
Assessment of literacy at the later elementary level
Why phonological awareness, particularly phonemic awareness, is an important skill
There is a link between good phonological awareness, particularly phonemic awareness, and good future literacy
