Phonemic Awareness Skill of Undergraduate and Graduate Students Relative to Speech-Language Pathologists and Other Educators

Purpose: Phonemic awareness has been identified as a critical area of early literacy instruction. Evidence suggests that educators may not have sufficient phonemic awareness skill to provide effective phonemic awareness instruction. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) demonstrate strong phonemic awareness skill relative to other educators (Spencer, Schuele, Guillot, & Lee, 2008). This study sought to identify components of speech-language pathology training that contribute to phonemic awareness skill and to examine the phonemic awareness skill of students in speechlanguage pathology training relative to practicing SLPs and
