Sometimes teachers are unsure how to teach or evaluate phonological awareness skills in students who can not speak - and therefore cannot “say” letter sounds or words. I frequently remind teachers and therapists that teaching these skills to nonverbal students is really not different from teaching to verbal students. Only the mode of response is different. Rather than making a verbal response, students will respond using the same mode they use for all other expressive tasks - picture based communication. For example, we ask students to find words that begin with the same sound as a spoken word. OK, we use pictures for this task, and that’s easy. When we ask students to name words that begin with the same sound as a spoken word, we need to make sure that they have a sufficient aac system, or we need to provide a choice of words from which they can choose. Light and McNaughton have some good information on their program available. In essence, a choice array is provided for all tasks, from identifying rhyming words to sounds to number of syllables in words. Here are some examples for you:

Howdy! I am Mr. Greg from The Kindergarten Smorgasboard. My real name is Greg Smedley-Warren. I have been teaching for 11 years. I spent a year teaching fifth grade, two years in second grade and am now in my 9th year in Kindergarten. Kindergarten is my passion and my calling but honestly, that wasn’t how it started. When I was moved to Kindergarten (not voluntarily!) I called my mommy and cried. But on the first day, I fell in love and knew that Kindergarten is where I belonged. I have remained in Kindergarten ever since. I plan to never leave the classroom as the kids are what drive me to continue my growth as a teacher and person.
