Phonological awareness is an important precursor in learning to read. This awareness of phonemes fosters a child’s ability to hear and blend sounds, encode and decode words, and to spell phonetically. This quantitative study assessed pre-K children’s existing Euro-American nursery rhyme knowledge and phonological awareness literacy, provided phonological awareness training with an experimental ...

The importance of phonological and phonemic awareness knowledge in learning to be literate has been demonstrated in many studies. One dimension of the acquisition of this knowledge, the developmental trend from an implicit awareness of rimes to an explicit awareness of phonemes has attracted substantial interest. A second dimension, a trend in the amount of phonemic knowledge that can be manipu...

Most of researches have reported the significance English phonemic awareness to success learning English, but less discussions involving students with visual disabilities. Students disabilities lacks input and form a strong sensitivity audio input, that this condition affect their spelling ability, yet, ability in recognizing phonemes has been explored especially Indonesia. Thus, research aims ...

In this paper, speech recognition techniques are applied to automatically evaluate children’s phonemic awareness through three blending tasks (phoneme blending, onset-rhyme blending and syllable blending). The system first applies disfluency detection to filter out disfluent phenomena such as false-starts, sounding out, self-repair and repetitions, and to localize the target answer. Since most ...

BACKGROUND The PA skills of phonological blending and segmentation and auditory word discrimination relate directly to literacy and may be weak in English second language (EL2) learners. In South Africa, literacy skills have been found to be poor in especially EL2 learners. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this paper is to determine the effects of vowel perception and production intervention on phon...

Cohort-1 consisted 59 students, while there were 193 students in Cohort-2. A total 252 recruited into sample. Data collected with Phonemic Awareness Test which specifically designed for research. Mediation analysis use...

Linguistic experience attenuates adult listeners’ attention to acoustic differences that are not phonemic in the listener’s language. In the present study we found that acoustic information is available to listeners after acoustic cues have been processed to identify phonemic categories. Moreover, we also found that listeners maintained an awareness of these differences by comparing the identif...
