A

SLP is interested in children’s language deficits and the ways in which these deficits influence the acquisition of literacy.
 ASHA: SLPs have the following responsibilities
 *Educate teachers and parents in the oral
language-literacy relationship
 *Identify children at risk

Q

Reading development

A

Children with good language seem to enjoy reading and pretending to read
 Around age 4
 *Notice phonological similarities and appreciate
rhyming
 *Develop reading skills rapidly at early ages
 Phonics
 *Sound-letter correspondence
 *Reading becomes more automatic or fluent
 Third Grade
 *A shift from learning to read to reading to learn

17
Q

Mature literacy

A

 Little energy spent determining pronunciation
of words
 Language and world knowledge used to understand text
 Monitor for understanding
 Use prediction
 Reading is interactive
 Adults use reading as a primary means

18
Q

Reading problems

A

Risk of reading difficulties is high in those with articulation or language impairments
 DYSLEXIA
 *Poor word recognition
 *Problems with phonological processing
 HYPERLEXIA
 * Poor comprehension
 *Typical to above average word recognition.

Hyperlexia

A

HYPERLEXIA
 * Poor comprehension
 *Typical to above average word recognition.

21
Q

Reading problems
Pervasive developmental delay

A

PERVASIVE DEVELOPMENTAL DELAY (PDD)

 *Often excluded from reading curriculum

22
Q

Reading problems
Learning disabled

A

LEARNING DISABLED
 *Acquire reading typically

23
Q

Reading problems

A

Children with language impairments are at risk for reading impairments

26
Q

Assessments of developmental reading
Begin

A

Begins with
 *Questionnaires, interviews, referrals, and
screenings
 *Reading Assessment
 *Standardize reading assessment
 *Oral Language Samples
 *Analysis of miscues or mistakes
 *Written story retelling
 *Comprehension measures

27
Q

Assessment of developmental reading

A

Phonological Awareness  *Rhyming
 *Syllabication
 *Segmentation
 *Phoneme Isolation  *Deletion
 *Substitution
 *Blending

28
Q

Assessments of developmental reading
Word recognition

A

Word Recognition
 Principles
 *Materials should be age appropriate
 *Use various tasks
 *Use several measures
 *Consider cultural and linguistic background
 *Demonstrate unfamiliar tasks
 *Reading deficits not limited to those with emergent literacy
 *Observations and interpretation is extremely important.
 Curriculum-based measures and dynamic assessment may
be more appropriate
 Should be done with and without clues
 Note all errors, error types, and attempts to cut out w

29
Q

Assessment of developmental reading
Text comprehension

A

TEXT COMPREHENSION
 ASSESS
 *Oral Language
 *Knowledge of narrative schemes and text grammar
 Metacognition
 *Standardize tests should be supplemented by other naturalistic observation/measures

30
Q

Assessment of developmental reading
Executive function

A

EXECUTIVE FUNCTION
 *Self-regulation can be assessed by
 *Interview questions about strategies used for reading tasks
 *Think-alouds or verbalizing thoughts accompany reading
