Rachel and I were filling out a “Teacher, Prent and Studeent Information Processing Inventory” (basically a ‘does your child have ADD’ survey) the other day when we came across this question:
“Can the student manipulate phonemes, such as blending? Yes__ No__”
What on earth was the writer thinking while writing this question? It sounds like it was written by a pissed off English professor at some Ivy league college. Why not just ask, “Does the child have trouble pronouncing words or letter combinations such as /ck/?” Geez.
