How to Explain Phonological?

Phonological processes are patterns of sound errors that typically developing children use to simplify speech as they are learning to talk. They do this because they don't have the ability to coordinate the lips, tongue, teeth, palate and jaw for clear speech.

How do you describe phonological awareness?

Phonological awareness is the foundation for learning to read. It's the ability to recognize and work with sounds in spoken language. Some kids pick it up naturally, but others need more help with it.

How do you explain phonology to a child?

Children develop phonological awareness skills in a sequential pattern which is as follows:
  1. The ability to hear rhymes and alliteration.
  2. Hearing words in spoken language.
  3. Hearing syllables in spoken words and then being able to clap out syllables.
