Abstract :

Phonological skills development is one of the basic foundations before language mastery of a child. Preston and Edwards (2010), in their study on phonological skills and phonological errors in English speaking preschoolers, suggested that poorer phonological skills are associated with lower receptive vocabularies and more atypical sound errors. This study focused further on few phonological skills development in Oriya speaking typically developing children of 3–12 years age, compared to adults, children with Learning Disability of 7 to 12 years of age and a third group of children of 7 to 12 years of age with phonological errors (without any anatomical & physiological abnormalities in oral structures). The result from this part–pilot data was used to construct a screening test to assess phonological and morphological abilities in Oriya speaking children. The results of few sub tests are described in this paper, such as syllable segmentation, syllable deletion, identification of syllable, form a word (by adding & substitution of syllable). The results were analyzed based on gender, age group, for each task.
