Flowchart of Reading Testing
( M. Farrall, 2012)
The Dyslexia Handbook,Revised 2014
"Students identified as having dyslexiatypically experience primary difficulties inphonological awareness, includingphonemic awareness and manipulation,single-word reading, reading fluency, andspelling."
The State Dvslexia Handbook, Revised 2014

Phonological Processing
"Phonological processing refers to theneurological mechanisms by which we usespeech sounds to process oral and writtenlanguage."
"Phonological processing includes three mainskills:
phonological awareness,
phonological memory, and
rapid naming."
(Farrall, 2012)
Language and The Brain

Segmenting, blending, and manipulatingsounds in words (phonemic awareness)
• Learning the names of letters andassociated sounds
1 Holding information about sounds andwords in memory (phonological memory)
• Rapidly recalling the names of familiarobjects, colors, or letters of the alphabet(rapid naming)

Phonological Awareness
"Phonological awareness is a broad termthat describes the awareness of soundpatterns in oral language:
• words,
syllables, and
Phonemic awareness."
(Farrall, 2012)
Developmental Sequence forPhonological Awareness
• Awareness of words, then syllables
• Identifying rhyming words
Identify ing same beg i n rimgsb u n dsTn words
Isolating beginning sounds in words
Segmenting onset and rime
Blending sp^n^ segments^
Identifying same ending sounds in words
Isolating ending sounds in words
Blending sound segments
Developmental Sequence forPhonological Awareness
• Blending sounds in 4 and 5 phoneme words
• Segmenting sounds in 4 and 5 phoneme words
menting cluster (e.g., sprints)
ipulating phonemes: Deleting sounds in thed-initial, word-final, and word-medial positions
inipulating phonemes: Reversals
ipulating phonemes: Substitutions

Phonemic Awareness• "Phonemic awareness refers to the ability to
discriminate, remember, and manipulateindividual speech sounds in a word."
"It is phonemic awareness that permits childrento understand the alphabetic principle, makesense of rules for sound-symbolcorrespondence, even recognize words that areonly partial regular (Torgesen & Mathis, 2000)."
(Far ra l l , 2012)
The Importance of PhonemicAwareness in Learning To Read"In addition to understanding the conceptof phonemic awareness, assessment mustalso be informed by an understanding ofwhy phonemic awareness is important tothe growth of word reading ability."
(Catts, 2012)
Alphabetic Principle
"It helps children understand the alphabeticprinciple and develop alphabeticknowledge."
(Cam, 2012)

Letters and Sounds
"It helps children notice the regular waysthat letters represent sounds in words."
(Catts, 2012)
Decode Words
"It helps children become flexible decodersto decode even irregular words, and itmakes it possible to generate possibilitiesfor words in context that are only partially"sounded out.""
(Catts, 2012)
Spell Accurately
"When spelling unknown words, individualsuse their phonological knowledge tosegment words into their individualphonemes. Once this is done, they then canapply their orthographic and morphologicalknowledge to represent those sounds."
(Catts, 2012)

The Dyslexia Handbook,Revised 2014
Domains to Assess
Cognitive Processes
"Difficulties in phonological and phonemicawareness are typically seen in studentswith dyslexia and impact a student's abilityto learn letters and the sounds associatedwith letters, learn the alphabetic principle,decode words, and spell accurately."
The State Dyslexia Handbook, Revised 2014
Assessment of PhonologicalAwareness• Phonological awareness can be measured
by over 20 tasks which fall into threegroups.
• Sound Comparison
* Phoneme Blending
Phoneme Segmentation

Review and Interpretation ofData and Assessments
"If the student exhibits reading and spellingdifficulties and currently has appropriatephonological/phonemic processing, it isimportant to examine the student'shistory to determine if there isevidence of previous difficulty withphonological/phonemic awareness." DYSLEXIA
HANDBOOK
Review and Interpretation ofData and Assessments
"It is important to note that because previouseffective instruction in phonological/phonemicawareness may remediate phonological awarenessskills in isolation, average phonological awarenessscores alone do not rule out dyslexia."
THEDYSLEXIAHANDBOOK
Review and Interpretation ofData and Assessments
"Ongoing phonological processing deficits can beexhibited in word reading and/or spelling."

Looking Beyond Standardized TestScores
"At a phonological level, this student made a fewerrors including one vowel identification error, anasal substitution and a fricative substitution. Thisis typical of an adolescent dyslexic student whohas received excellent instruction but who stillexhibits residual phonological processingweakness. At the level of orthography this studentstruggles to correctly spell vowel teams, vowel-rcombinations, and some common words withirregular vowel spelling such as none."
(Moats, 2014)
Phonological Memory
"Phonological memory refers to the ability tohold nonmeaningful verbal information in short-term memory."
"Phonological memory typically assessedthrough repetition of numbers, words, nonsensewords, or sentences as they are dictated by an
Rapid Naming
"Rapid naming refers to the ability to accessphonological information stored in long-termmemory with precision, efficiency, and easewhen given a series of things to name as quicklyas possible."
"Rapid naming is typically assessed through thenaming of familiar things, such as letters,numbers, pictures, and colors."
5/6/2015
The Dyslexia Handbook,Revised 2014
"Do the data show a pattern of low reading andspelling skills that is unexpected for the studentsin relation to the student's other cognitive abilitiesand provision of effective instruction?"
"For example, the student may exhibit strengths inareas such as reading comprehension, listeningcomprehension, math reasoning, or verbal abilityyet still have difficulty with reading and spelling."
A Final Thought
"The burden is on the test users to be "better"than the tests they use."
