ABSTRACT

This book is part of the Phoneme Factory Project undertaken by Granada Learning in partnership with the Speech and Language Therapy Research Unit in Bristol. The project has resulted in a series of products that have been developed for use with children who have difficulties with developing speech. The Phoneme Factory series consists of Phoneme Factory: Phonology Screener, Phoneme Factory: Sound Sorter and Phoneme Factory: Developing Speech and Language Skills. Phoneme Factory: Sound Sorter consists of seven activities designed to develop children’s listening and awareness of sounds in speech. The Phoneme Factory: Phonology Screener tests and diagnoses children suspected of having phonological impairment. It contains on-screen picture naming tasks that enable the user to assess a child’s speech and record responses using a multiple choice response format. The Phonology Screener can be used with any child whose speech is causing concern in order to identify those who need referral to speech and language therapy.
