Introduction
Phonological awareness (PA) is a form of metalinguistic awareness and refers to the ability to carry out mental operations on units of speech and is considered to be particularly important for early literacy development (Anthony & Francis, 2005). The development of PA follows two patterns. Firstly, with increasing age children become increasingly aware of smaller parts of words. The increasing order of development progresses through detection and manipulation of syllables, onset-rimes and words. Second, they become capable to detect similar and dissimilar sounding words before they acquire the ability to manipulate sounds and they blend phonological information before they could segment phonological information of the same linguistic complexity. Specific PA skills include syllable-level awareness, onset-rime awareness, and phonemic awareness. Children with Speech Sound Disorder (SSD) may have a deficit of PA which is associated with the speech output

The identification and management of PA is proved to be a significant part of paediatric speech-language pathology practice (American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 2001). Children with SSD exhibit more difficulties in PA when compared to other speech and language disorders. These children are expected to have difficulties in word, syllable and phoneme levels (Bird et al., 1995). There are published studies on profiling PA skills in western monolingual and bilingual SSD population. On the counterpart, profiling PA skills in Indian children with SSD have not been explored. A comparison of PA skills between typically developing (TD) children and children with SSD may provide the impact of phonological impairment on PA skills. This information can further be used for planning effective intervention
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.
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.
The use of telepratice in the field of speech-language pathology has become increasingly popular as new technologies have developed and expanded. For individuals living with chronic aphasia, telepractice is a feasible option because these individuals can engage in therapy activities from the comfort of their own homes. This study entitled, “A Usability Study of Internet-Based Therapy for Naming Deficits in Aphasia,” seeks to determine whether the usability of the Phonological Components Analysis treatment program could be appropriate for patients with chronic post-stroke aphasia. Usability was defined as containing three elements: 1) effectiveness (Did the patient complete tasks?), 2) efficiency (Did the patient have difficulty completing tasks?),
Phonemic awareness is the ability to notice, think about, and work with the individual sounds in words. It is very important to teach phonemic awareness because it the start of teaching the students how to read. This lesson taught me about all the steps it takes to teach students about phonemic awareness. It’s something that can’t be done in one class. Phonemic awareness has for stages, word, syllable, onset rime, and phoneme. All these steps are crucial for learning how to read. This lesson taught me a lot about phonemic awareness and it’s a lesson I’ll be using in the near future when I begin
Over seven million people just in the US have some sort of speech disorder. Just think about how many it is around the world! There are many different types of speech disorders, such as: stuttering, lisping and, mumbling, to name a few. Many of these disorders become noticeable during early childhood, however, this is not the only time a speech disorder may occur. Many people that suffer from strokes or other traumatic accidents encounter struggles with speech through their recovery. Those who struggle with speaking after an accident, though, have more access to treatments than children that are born with speech impediments. The treatments that are most known for children include: phonology, semantics, syntax, and pragmatics. There are speech
Tomson Highway deftly uses drama to depict the ethical and cultural struggle between the Secwepemc and the European colonists in his play Ernestine Shuswap Gets Her Trout. The playwright's interactions and dialogue are expertly portrayed. Set in 1910s British Columbia, the novel fully reflects the Secwepemc people's relationship to colonial values of perspective, spirituality, and governance. It also highlights Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier's impending major visit and reveals the Secwepemc people's intricate relationship to land, personal property, and family ties. The work compares and contrasts secwepemc and colonizer beliefs, spirituality, systems of government, and other relevant values.

Phonemic Awareness is very important part of literacy. Phonemic awareness includes sounds of a word, the breakdown of words into sounds. It includes rhyming and alliteration, isolation, counting words in sentences, syllables and phonemes, blending words, segmenting, and manipulating.
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.
Phonological awareness is students understanding of sound awareness of being able to hear the sound as and continues stream know as phones. Children at a young age should be learning and understand the basic concepts of English has a streamline and be able to break down the sound components. As teachers, it is important to understand the most efficient and engaging of teaching to their students, reading and writing.
According to Bursuck & Damer (2011) phonemes are “the smallest individual sounds in words spoken.” Phonemic awareness is the “ability to hear the phonemes and manipulate the sounds” (p. 41). Phonemic awareness is essential because without the ability students are not able to manipulate the sounds. According to the National Institute for Literacy (2007), “students with poor phonics skills prevent themselves from reading grade-level text and are unable to build their vocabulary” (p.5) Agreeing with the importance of phonemic awareness, Shapiro and Solity attempted to use whole class instruction to improve students’ phonological awareness. The intervention showed that whole class instruction assisted not only the students with poor phonemic awareness, but also on-level developing readers.
Vera Blazevska 12/21/2017 Dr. Davidoff Making Evidence Based Decisions Regarding Phonological Awareness Intervention in Young School-aged Children Phonological Awareness Defined Spoken speech consists of linguistic units that vary in size from larger (sentences, words, syllables) to smaller units (morphemes and phonemes). Typically, these linguistic elements are consciously and effortlessly recognized by adult speakers. In a simplified form, an individual’s ability to analyze spoken language is known as “phonological awareness.” In his book Phonological Awareness. From research to Practice, Gail T. Gillon (2004) defines phonological awareness as “a multi-level skill, typically seen as compromised of syllable awareness, onset-rime awareness,
These skills are an important core separating normal and disabled readers. According to Hill (2006, p.134), phonemic awareness is a skill that focus’ on the small units of sound that affect meaning in words. For example, the following phoneme has three syllables, /c/, /a/ and /n/. These letters make three different small units of sound that can impact the meaning of words. Seely Flint, Kitson and Lowe (2014, p. 191), note that even the Australian Curriculum recognises the importance of phonemic awareness in the Foundation year, due to the ‘sound and knowledge’ sub-strand. This sub strand recognises syllables, rhymes and sound (phonemes) in spoken language. Rich discussions about topics of interest to children as well as putting attention to the sounds of language can help encourage phonemic awareness as well as improve students vocabulary and comprehension development. It is important to make awareness of phonemes engaging and interesting in preschool and in the early years so children can learn these skills early and become successful
Consonant is a speech sound which is produced by a partial or a complete obstruction of the airflow by the constriction of the speech organs ( Ladefoged and Disner, 2012:201). The production of consonants involves bringing two of the speech organs close enough together to shut off or restrict the flow of air (Bennett, 1998: 7). Consonant sounds may be voiced or voiceless which are produced with an obstruction or occlusion at some points in the vocal tract, this obstruction of airflow could be complete or partial (Al-Hamad, 2002: 75 and Erwin, 2004:5). Consonant sounds are not produced or formed only if there is an occlusion in the flow of air or when there is a close articulation of two organs of speech or when they are fully pressed together to form the consonant sound (Ahmed, 2004:16).
In this course we study both phonetics and phonology. Phonetics to improve the way we should spell the sounds, and in order to spell the correct sounds we should learn how to listen accurately. It’s also known as the study of language which contains 44 sounds and 26 letters. Phonology is to study the rules for combining phonemes and what happened due to this combination. Phonetics contains consonant, vowels & diphthongs. It’s also used in language and linguistics rules that specify how the phonemes are organized into syllables, words, and sentences to
