I thoroughly enjoyed this speaker as she is always informative but not too wordy and gives great examples. I was not aware of the alphabetic principle however it makes so much sense when trying to figure out which approach is better phonics or whole word. I so appreciate the resources offered in this session and look forward to more information from this speaker soon.

Again Phonemic Awareness is the stronger predictor of word reading difficulties. As SLPs we need to incorporating this into out sessions. We need to not only work on basic rhyming and segmentation but we need to be doing phonemic awareness activities that include deletion, manipulating and adding phonemes to words.

The best way to reduce the number of struggling readers in later elementary aged students, is to provide systematic instruction in phonemic and phonological awareness in combination with code based phonics instruction early on. Research noted that Phonemic Awareness is the strongest single predictory of word reading difficulties. It is the highest level of phonological awareness which includes deleting, manipulating and adding phonemes to words. Vocab, morph and comp were also discussed.

This course highlights the critical role of language development in reading and writing success. Teaches how to support language skills that underpin literacy, such as morphology. Equips educators to identify and support students with language impairments, dyslexia, or literacy related challenges. Deepens understanding of how language and literacy are connected. Strengthens SLP confidence in implementing research-based instruction effectively.

Angie Neal presents research-based information regarding the connection between literacy and phonemic awareness skills in children. She advocates for SLPs to work with school teams to use evidence-based research in reading to help others in the schools to understand that all children benefit from a strong foundation of phonemic awareness to aid in reading comprehension skills.

Mrs. Neal’s course included important information about the phonological components of language that impact our student’s ability to acquire reading acquisition skills. Mrs Neal suggested using the CTOPP, a PA test, a phonemic awareness screening test and a writing sample in connected text to assess these skills. Mrs Neal also provided us with numerous activities and strategies to use during therapy, to help our student’s improve their phonological and phonemic awareness skills.
