"It's One of Them...I Don't Know": Case Study of a Student with Phonological, Rapid Naming, and Word-Finding Deficits

By Miller, Linda L.; Felton, Rebecca H.; Journal of Special Education, Vol. 35, No. 3, pp. 125-133
Publication Date: Fall 2001

Article discussing a 15-year-old male student who attended a public high school in a rural community in the southeastern United States. The student demonstrated deficits in phonemic awareness, rapid naming, and word finding. Intervention began in the fall of his seventh-grade year and continued for four years. Phonemic awareness and decoding of individual words was taught using the Lindamond Phoneme Sequencing Program for Reading, Spelling, and Speech (LiPS). The LiPS program teaches students to use oral-motor, visual, and auditory feedback to identify and manipulate sounds within words. First, the student was taught the oral characteristics of all consonant and vowel sounds, and then was taught to analyze and manipulate sounds within simple and complex syllables using mouth pictures and blocks. Next, he practiced decoding and encoding phonetically regular real and nonsense words by using the letter tiles component of the LiPS program. Once he mastered single syllables for decoding and encoding words with closed and open syllable patterns with the LiPS program, he was taught additional syllable patterns in single and multisyllabic words using the Language! Curriculum. The Language! Curriculum is a structured language curriculum that teaches decoding and encoding skills. Automatic recognition of non-content words was taught using The Sentence Master software program. The Sentence Master was designed to address word-retrieval difficulties by teaching non-content sight words. Each word is presented in multiple formats, with 40 to 50 learning trials and frequent review throughout the training.
