“…However, it is possible to verify that their language development was less than expected for the age. These changes may be related to various factors, among them deficient opportunities for learning caused by poor stimulatory environments due to the socioeconomic level, as demonstrated by Engel et al (2008) and McDowell et al (2007).…”

“…Evolutive differences in the phonological awareness tasks have not been fully elucidated, however, some evidence indicates reciprocal influences between phonological awareness abilities and learning to read and write, that is, as phonological awareness is a prerequisite for learning to read and write (McDowell, Lonigan, & Goldstein, 2007;Mota & Guimarães, 2011;Peeters, Verhoeven, de Moor, & van Balkom, 2009), the phonological awareness abilities can also be improved and expanded by exposure of the individual to being taught to read and write (Bernardino Junior, Freitas, Souza, Maranhe, & Bandini, 2006;Freitas, 2008).…”

Relationships between oral language, phonological awareness, and working memory have been empirically demonstrated, however, phonological awareness encompasses different abilities, assessed at different levels. The present study investigated the possible associations between specific phonological awareness abilities and phonological working memory in first-grade students. In the initial phase ( n = 254), the study evaluated the abilities of phonological awareness and phonological working memory and found a high positive correlation between these abilities, thus confirming the findings of previous studies. The second phase ( n = 12) evaluated the vocabulary of individuals who, in the initial phase, showed low or high working memory and phonological awareness scores. Students with low working memory and low phonological awareness capacities had low scores in expressive language abilities, suggesting that phonological working memory may have direct effects on lexical knowledge. These results contribute to the understanding of the relationships investigated in this study and have important implications for planning teaching strategies.

“…They found that children with more atypical errors experience inferior performance in PA skills (12,15,16). The literature has also shown that there is a positive relation between speech sound accuracy measured by percent consonant correct (PCC) and PA skills (17). Although the literature suggests there is a relationship between PD and PA, it has also been shown that children with SSD do not exhibit PA problems (18,19).…”

“…Firstly, although socioeconomic status (SES) is important when studying children with SSD (17), no valid and reliable instrument exists to measure socioeconomic status in Iran. In order to diminish SES' effect, we tried to select children based on residential area and mother's education.…”

Background: In terms of error patterns, children with phonological disorders (PD) are a heterogeneous population. These children are at risk for phonological awareness (PA) deficits. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate phonological awareness in Persian-speaking children with phonological disorders. Patients and Methods: Thirty-six children with PD aged 5 -6 years were selected by a convenience sampling method during 12 months. Children with PD were divided into three groups according to their error patterns. Fourteen normally developing (ND) children were selected as the control group. In order to equalize socioeconomic status, ND children were similar to the PD groups based on age, residential area, and mothers' educational attainments. Language, speech sound production, oro-motor, and PA skills were investigated. Intra-syllabic and phonological awareness (PA) were compared to investigate PA skills in the four groups. Relation between percent consonant correct (PCC) and PA was also investigated in the four groups. Fourteen children with phonological delay, 12 children with consistent atypical phonological disorders (CAP), and 10 children with inconsistent phonological disorders (ICP) formed the PD groups. Results: The CAP group showed significant difference with the ND group in alliteration (P = 0.001), rhyme (P = 0.001), identification of words with the same initial phoneme (P = 0.002), and identification of words with the same final phoneme (P = 0.001) [except blending phonemes (P = 0.504)]. Though performing more poorly, the delayed group did not show significant difference with ND group (P > 0.05). The ICP and ND groups did not show significant difference in PA except in identifying words with the same final phoneme (P = 0.008). The relation between PCC and PA was observed only in the CAP group (P = 0.021). Conclusions:The results suggested that PA skills in children with phonological disorders are affected by error type. We also found the type of errors that can play a more effective role in PA investigations as compared to PCC. The results also showed that children with CAP require special attention.
