Shallow stage of phonological sensitivity in tamil speaking children
Background: Phonological sensitivity skills develop as a continuum in a hierarchical pattern from shallow to deep stages. This is an important component in a child’s literacy development, especially in spelling and reading performance. Shallow stages of phonological sensitivity skills set the stage for future proficiency in literacy. Development of phonological sensitivity skills must be studied in various languages as the age at which each stage is acquired can be variable depending on the uniqueness and complexity of the language.
