Yopp-Singer Test of Phoneme Segmentation
used to determine each child’s
level of phonological awareness, including phonemic awareness, before a sequence of lessons begins.
the teacher says 22 words (e.g., dog, keep, fine, no). The child
must provide each sound of the word in order. So when the teacher says dog, the correct response is /d/, /o/, /g/.
