Child G And The Main Components Of The Phonetic Stage

Child G is 6 years old female and her parents express that she enjoys writing both in school and at home. Her older sister goes to sleepaway camp during the summer months and so in this piece of writing Child G talks about her weekend at her sister’s camp reunion. This writing is part of a weekly classroom activity, ‘weekend news’. According to Gentry’s five stages of spelling development, Child G’s writing suggests she is in the phonetic stage, with some examples of transitional writing present (Gentry, 1982). In this piece of writing, the spelling of words has been based on the sounds they hear, one of the main components of the phonetic stage. This is most evident in the way she has spelt ‘reunion,’ as ‘reyouyen.’ This may be understood better by child G with the use of syllable games, such as clapping as saying words aloud to hear how many syllables are present. However, Child G does show knowledge of the rules with reg ards to words ending in ‘e,’ which is evident in ‘side.’ The National Curriculum states that children of this age should understand such rule (Department for Education, 2013a), which indicates that Child G is progressing into the transitional stage, and is starting to become less dependent on sounds when writing (Wyse et al. 2013). In order for Child G to sit comfortably in the transitional stage the child’s teachers and parents/carers could use several methods. The ‘Look-Cover-Say-Write-Check’ method is a popular technique adopted in schools, anShow MoreRelatedArticulatory Phonetics9907 Words   |  40 Pages14 CHAPTER 2 Articulatory Phonetics SPEECH SOUND FORM LEARNING OBJECTIVES 2 When you have ï ¬ nished this chapter, you should be able to: †¢ List the differences in production and function of vowels versus consonants. †¢ Identify the three descriptive parameters that are used for vowel articulations, and classify the vowels of American English using those three parameters. †¢ Differentiate between monophthong and diphthong vowels. †¢ Deï ¬ ne centering diphthongs. †¢ Differentiate between a phonemicRead MoreLanguage Development4237 Words   |  17 Pageseducation field.
