Abstract
Children across the globe struggled to read prior to the pandemic lock down, but few were listening. Post pandemic reading scores in 2022 received more attention when the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Nation’s Report Card painted an even more dismal portrait of student proficiency. Math and reading scores continue to plummet no matter how many millions of dollars are allocated to reverse the trend. Still, no one is listening.
The hierarchy of skills required to read have been universally accepted by most specialists. Yet, poor readers struggle with the most fundamental building block of the pyramid – phonemic awareness. If the brain cannot authentically hear and reproduce sounds, a child can’t differentiate phonemes. If a child can’t read, they can’t learn. These children are misdiagnosed and therefore never receive the appropriate intervention they need. At the core, the auditory pathway is almost never screened for problems, and it’s never understood what the brain is hearing. This session will cover the underlying problem of phonemic awareness in struggling readers, why it exists, how to measure it, and offer solutions for addressing it.
