The impact of phonological awareness on spelling
Prerequisite- Emergent literacy
Different skills, knowledge and abilities are required beforehand to master spelling
Before a child begins to spell orthographic knowledge builds up.
By isolating a phoneme and identifying rapid naming contributes to emergent literacy.
The different levels of phonological awareness
Rhyming words- This makes a direct connection between words with the same sound & spelling patterns
.
Separating words & sounds, sequencing sentences
Manipulating sound & words
These different levels lead to great spelling success
Rhyming & alliteration is very important to read & write
Spelling stems from syllables right until phonemes are developed
The three functions of Phonological awareness: spelling accurately, segmenting a particular word into phonemes, memorize spelling of word patterns
The implications
Spelling mistakes are mostly phonetically inaccurate
It is very important that poor phonological skills are identified early in children to introduce intervention.
Extreme difficulty learning how to comprehend and write printed letters
Children who are poor spellers require a lot of time. They become weak in all areas relating to language.
Predictors of spelling
Children must be able to break down words into parts to understand letters & sounds (the alphabetic writing system).
One should learn the alphabet letters & various skills with phoneme and grapheme correspondence.
Phonological awareness tasks (reading & writing), phonetic decoding system.
Spelling includes visual skill, rote memorization & linguistic skill.
Alphabet patterns are vital to critically analyze spelling. The inclusion of sound to letter activities, identifying single alphabet letters in a particular position in a word.
Reading with good ability, meta linguistic awareness, morphology, semantics, syntax is the key to learning how to spell through phonological awareness.
The key to spelling is mastering sound to letter recognition. To achieve this a child has to grasp the linguistic concept of the alphabetic principle and retrieve phoneme sounds.
Phoneme awareness contributes to the overall growth of printed letter word recognition.
Interventions
Teachers make use of a system of assessments called PALS(Phonological awareness literacy screening)
Test orthographic knowledge, word recognition, oral reading & language, phonemic awareness by blending different sounds to make a word, identify alphabets
Try the recalling method on word and sentence structure
.
A teacher should support a child with sound to letter activities to avoid spelling difficulty.
Emphasis should be placed on manipulation of words + sounds, verbal naming, decoding & auditory phoneme identification.
Teachers should test the speech sounds, the amount of knowledge of letter names, sound symbols & vocabulary to succeed in spelling
