Language Arts II - Phonemic and Phonological Awareness RR

This summary provides an overview of two journal articles on phonological and phonemic awareness in young children: - The first article discusses how phonological awareness activities like sound manipulation games make learning fun and engaging for children, even if they cannot fully understand the activities. It emphasizes the importance of providing a "phonologically rich environment" for children similar to a print-rich one. - The second article describes a kindergarten assessment that tests children's ability to decode nonwords using sound-symbol correspondence. The student questions whether a nonsense word test is the best way to evaluate early reading comprehension in kindergarteners. - Overall, the summaries highlight the importance of exposing young children to different aspects of language play

[] the children who substituted one
sound for another when listening to The
Hungry Thing. While several children were
unable to detect and engage in these sound
manipulations, they were delighted with the
activities nonetheless and benefited from
exposure to such language play.
-

The concept of this book is quite amazing. You do not see


many picture books that have the sole
focus of sound manipulation; even less
that are presented in an engaging, fun
way for children. This book is a great
way to make children aware of their own
writing and oral language.
Example: tookies for cookies

Childs Play!

Mr. Hernandez deliberately establishes a


phonological rich environment similar to a
print-rich environment. Children learn about
print when they see it used in a variety of
contexts and for a variety of purposes. So
too can children benefit from being
surrounded by the sounds of language as
they sing, chant, listen to books, and play
games that focus on sound manipulation.

This is something I had not considered in young children,


though it is fairly obvious when you think about it.
Children who are unable to yet read, or who are struggling
readers, are unable to understand print language. Still, they
need to be exposed to language so they are able to
understand patterns and vocabulary for when they are
learning to read. Preschoolers require the building blocks
of written language in order to build up to the level of
understanding needed to read text.

The nonword reading test was administered


for the purpose of determining each childs
ability to use sound-symbol correspondence
to decode nonwords. Children were assessed
on their ability to sound and blend printed
nonwords such as paz and kov.
Administered in kindergarten.

Phonemic Awareness in Young
Children

I knew a test like this would be administered at some point


in the primary elementary grades, but I did not think this
would be the first test given in this set of testing nor would
it be in kindergarten. From what I have observed in the
Roberts Academy, nonsense words are not the easiest for
students to pronounce. Kindergarteners have a good start
on reading, but is a nonsense word test the best way to see
if they are understanding the content?
