  • Segmentation and Representation of Consonant Blends In Kindergarten Children’s Spellings 0
    pubs.asha.org
    Author: Krystal L. Werfel and C. Melanie Schuele - During the period of emergence, the properties of phonemes that comprise consonant blends influence children’s ability to segment and represent blends. This finding has implications for how phonemic awareness, spelling instruction, and intervention might proceed. Results Kindergarten children showed varied ability to segment and represent consonant blends and were differentially successful depending on the linguistic features of the blends. Children were more likely to represent initial blends than final blends, final nonnasal blends than final nasal blends, nonhomorganic blends than homorganic blends, and initial nasal blends than final nasal blends.
