the Effects of Training Program based on Auditory Perception Skills in Enhancing Phonological Awareness among Learning Disability Students in Aseer Region

Abstract

This study aimed to explore the effect of a training program based on auditory perception skills in enhancing phonological awareness among learning disability students in the Aseer region. The sample of the study consisted of forty students from grades 3, 4, 5 and 6 in the Aseer directorate of education. Students were diagnosed by the resources room teacher as learning disability students. The researchers used the semi-experimental design which consists of experimental and control groups. Results showed mean significant difference in the phonetic sequential-memorization skill between the experimental and control groups on the post-test, in favor of the experimental group. There was no significant difference in the auditory perception skills that could be attributed to grade level. The results showed a continuous effect for the phonological awareness development program in developing auditory perception skills among learning disability students in the Aseer area.
