ABSTRACT English vowels are phonologically and orthographically more difficult than consonants when learning to map speech to print. We sought to determine if teaching young at-risk readers and spellers to use a visual vowel hand sign system to segment spoken words into their component phonemes contributed to improved grapheme-phoneme correspondence knowledge, word reading and spelling. Twenty-three at-risk Year 1 participants were assessed prior to receiving Crack the Code – an intervention that incorporates a visual vowel hand sign system for phoneme segmentation – and immediately after its completion on measures of segmentation, grapheme-phoneme correspondence knowledge, word reading accuracy, word reading efficiency and spelling. Analysis of group data showed statistically significant improvement across all measures with effect sizes ranging from 0.73 to 1.83. Explicitly teaching phonemic segmentation with a visual vowel sign system may be an effective way of improving vowel knowledge, word reading and spelling skills of at-risk children.
摘要在学习将语音映射到印刷体时,英语元音在语音和拼写上比辅音更难。我们试图确定,教年轻的高危读者和拼写者使用视觉元音手势系统将口语单词分割成其组成音素是否有助于提高字形-音素对应知识、单词阅读和拼写。23名有风险的一年级参与者在接受Crack the Code(一种包含视觉元音手势系统的音素分割干预措施)之前接受了评估,并在完成后立即评估了分割、字形-音素对应知识、单词阅读准确性、单词阅读效率和拼写的测量。对组数据的分析显示,在所有测量中都有统计学上的显著改善,效果大小在0.73到1.83之间。用视觉元音符号系统明确地教授音位分割可能是提高高危儿童元音知识、单词阅读和拼写技能的有效方法。
