Transcript: Measure Taylor's Syllable awareness- whether she has the ability to distinguish and identify the syllable segments within words Onset-rime awareness- whether she has the ability to detect the onset-rime components in both monosyllable and multiple-syllable words Phonemic awareness - whether she can substitute and therefore manipulate certain phonemes in order to change words More trouble with nonsense words: may be because she hadn't heard these words before or just because she was overwhelmed and confused due to being on a Skype conference call Found the second part of the test harder than the first part of the test: most likely due to the fact that it actually required her to replace one phoneme with another and therefore deal with two sounds rather than just the deletion of one She also found manipulating phonemes, particularly consonant blends, positioned in the middle or at the end of words harder: harder to do, dealing with more complex sounds Implications could include greater use of nonsense and unfamiliar words by teachers to ensure children are aware of all of phonemic sounds Also, just getting children to vocalize words, especially those with unusual sounds or difficult consonant blends more Could read children books that a appropriate for them thematically, however are above their reading level Phonemic Awareness Case Study Goals Results I predicted she would score 100% She received 90% The word she struggled with was Onomatopoeia: most likely due to the fact that it included a larger amount of syllables and was unfamiliar to her Implications would involve the teacher really just continuing what she is doing, maybe encouraging children to read and learn more words Children could practice clapping syllables, especially those words with a large number of syllables Introducing other activities that promote syllable awareness: add variety Taylor scored well on all the tests and was relatively inline with my original predictions She found the Phonemic Awareness test the hardest which is relatively normal for a child of her age Test using skill of segmentation Test in written format which was scanned and emailed to me Involved a list of thirty words that ranged from easy to hard, with some of the harder words containing consonant clusters such as "sh" and "spl" I predicted that Taylor would achieve around 90% on this test, only having trouble with some of the harder words containing consonant clusters Snippet of Taylor completing the Phonemic addition test Syllable Awareness My case study was focused around Taylor Taylor is a seven-year- old, female, second grade student She attends a private, co-ed school located in Orange, NSW, Australia She lives with her Father, Mother, twelve- year old brother and nine- year old sister Her class at school is female dominated, consisting of ten girls and five boys Her teacher is also female and only speaks English None of the students in the class speak a language other than English and the school is predominately made up of Caucasian Australian, English- speaking natives The majority of the students attending the school achieved above average results in the 2013 National Assessment Program in Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) Taylor is considered on track in terms of her literacy achievements and sits in around about the middle of the class Syllable Awareness Syllable Awareness Case Study Presentation Phonemic Awareness Phonemic Awareness Onset-Rime Awareness Only had trouble with thoes words that had consonant clusters involving three letters: confusing to segment, how they look to the eye As I predicted: perfectly normal in regards to phonological development Implications may involve the teacher including more words containing consonant clusters, especially those encompassing three or more letters, within her spelling tests Onset-Rime Awareness Discussion Study Method Test using skill of manipulation Originally had two tests, but decided that because the test I conducted had two parts it was sufficient by itself First part required Taylor to delete a particular phoneme Second part required Taylor to replace a particular phoneme with another Each part included a series of ten words, including some true words and some nonsense words I predicted that Taylor would have greater trouble with the second part of the test because it required greater skill in manipulation of sounds Also predicted that it wouldn't matter whether Taylor was manipulating real or nonsense words because she would be component enough in her phonemic awareness I used a series of different tests to measure Taylor's phonological awareness These test encompassed numerous skills related to phonological development General Information about the Child To develop a deeper understanding and insight into the role that phonological awareness plays in learning how to read I based my case study around the topic of phonological awareness and its role in reading development Phonological awareness can be defined
