Stimulating phonological awareness to overcome phonological disorders identified in elementary school children: the Fonodado

Abstract:This paper presents the findings of a survey that aimed to identify and monitor cases of phonological disorders in children's speech, which were carried out in two public schools in the metropolitan area of Porto Alegre. Twelve children, divided into control and experimental groups, were monitored. An intervention instrument applied to the experimental group was developed, namely the Fonodado, which is composed by a set of activities for stimulating phonological awareness. These activities were performed in individual sections over two months. As a result, the experimental group showed progress in the phonological awareness testing and in overcoming all or part of the phonological disorders that were observed in their speech. In contrast, most of those in the control group maintained almost all the phonological disorders that were observed at the beginning of the study.摘要：本研究呈现了一项调查的研究结果，该调查于阿雷格里港都会区的两所公立学校开展，旨在识别并监测儿童言语中的语音障碍（phonological disorders）病例。本次研究共纳入12名儿童，按分组要求分为对照组与实验组并接受全程监测。研究为实验组开发了一款干预工具，命名为Fonodado，该工具由一系列用于提升语音意识（phonological awareness）的训练活动组成，上述活动以个体训练的形式开展，持续时长为两个月。研究结果显示，实验组在语音意识测试中取得显著进步，且能够改善或完全克服其言语中初始观测到的语音障碍。与之相对，对照组中的绝大多数儿童几乎保留了研究起始阶段观测到的全部语音障碍。
