Preschooler Abby frequently mispronounces consonants, substitutes another consonant, or leaves the sound off a word completely. She also may misinterpret a word and seems slow to connect sounds with the corresponding letters. Which of the following components of speech do these problems reflect?
  1. Morphology
  2. Phonology
  3. Syntax
  4. Pragmatics
Explanation
Answer: B-Abby’s problems reflect a phonological deficit. Phonology is the understanding that letters make sounds and sounds make up words. When a child is unable to manipulate or hear individual sounds, speech may be delayed, as well as reading and writing.
