Phonological Errors of Bilingual Children in Kindergarten.

      Аннотация: Humans are social beings and need to exchange thoughts, express feelings and communicate with others in general. In today's world, reading is an important tool that conveys ideas and communicates. One of the important issues that is effective in learning to read, and during the last two decades, a lot of research has been done about it, is phonological awareness. Doyle states that in order for a person who is in the stage of learning to read to be successful, he must be able to know the phonemes that make up the word, which is phonological awareness. Researchers consider the development of phonological awareness as a hierarchy that starts with syllable awareness and ends with phonetic segmentation, although this skill is not acquired until the first grade. Studies conducted in the field of phonological awareness skills show its effect on cognitive abilities, reading ability, working memory and naming speed. These findings show the importance of phonological awareness on the beginning of reading skills in students and is a strong predictor for how they achieve reading. In addition, children's social history also affects phonological awareness.
