100

Identify four of the seven language systems 

phonetics

morphology

syntax

phonology

discourse 

semantics

pragmatics 

100

The ability to identify, think about, and manipulate the parts of a word including spoken syllables, onsets, and phonemes

Phonological awareness

100

Define a phoneme

Sound unit

100

Define grapheme and provide an example 

letter representation

Mice 

phonemes: 3

What is phonology?

The system of rules govering the sequencing and distribution of speech sounds in words

200
Identify the stages of spelling

Prealphabetic

early alphabetic

later alphabetic

consolidated alphabetic

200

At around what age does phonological awareness begin

4

200

Why should SLPS think in terms of phonemes and provide an example

graphemes and phonemes dont always match- you could misdiagnose, include non target sounds, or limit your target list

anxious, shampoo

horse, hose

How is morphology associated with reading?

compounds, prefixes, suffixes, roots, and combining forms- vocabulary, word recognition, and spelling

300

Describe what occurs in the early alphabetic stage

Growing awareness of speech sounds and knowledge of letter forms

Children begin to read/spell by sounding out letters

300

Provide an example of why you cannot use graphemes to identify a child's target.

nose, horse 

300

Provide examples of 

semantics

syntax 

pragmatics

semantics- a child learning the meaning of novel words


syntax- a child trying to figure out how to put his words into a sentence


pragmatics- a child learning about body language 

300

Carefully 

Phoneme: 7



400

Identify the process of reading

Graphemes/phonemes

words 

sentences

meaning in the discourse

comprehension 

400

Which stage: 

Allows rapid recognition of words 

phoneme/grapheme correspondance 

spelling is a string of familiar letters in random order 

consolidated 

later alphabetic

prealphabetic 

400

Describe the relationship between phonemes and morphemes in these words 

cat 

hat 

bat 

sat 

Because of the one phoneme difference there is a distinction between the list of words.

Question 

Phonemes:8


500

Explain to me the difference in graphemes and phonemes and why there are both important to SLPs and in reading. 

Graphemes: letter

phonemes: sound


500

Explain how reading, spelling, and language are associated. 

Phonemes and morphemes 

500

Identify the stages of phonological awareness 

awareness of rhyming 

awareness of syllables

awareness of onsets and rimes

sound isolation

phonemic blending

phoneme segmentation

phoneme manipulation

500

Provide an example of an occurrence that happens at each spelling stage. 


  • Children build up associations to syllables, word parts, and meaningful parts of words such as –ing which in turn allows rapid recognition of whole word
  • Phoneme / grapheme correspondence 
  • Children begin to spell by reading aloud
  • Spelling is often a string of familiar letters in a random order.
