Question

design a checklist that will assist you in identifying learners who experience 2to speech, sound and spelling

Answer 1

• Has difficulty blending sounds to form a word.
• Has difficulty sounding out words into sounds (segmenting).
• Has difficulty identifying letters and/or letter clusters.
•  Takes longer to recall names and sounds of letters.
•  Has difficulty using letter cluster knowledge used in one word to assist reading another word with a similar cluster pattern- analogy.
•  Doesn't recognise letter clusters (e.g. sp-ent) or digraphs

(e.g. oa / th) in words

•  Is inconsistent with letter identification, learning the visual code

The student relies heavily on these reading strategies:

• Converts each letter to a sound and blends sounds
•  Segments words into letters or inappropriate clusters

(e.g. wi-nd-ow)

•  Predicts words on the basis of an individual letter and/or a letter cluster
