Auditory Discrimination, Closure, & Synthesis
Mokhemar, Mary Ann
Includes 12 exercises for auditory discrimination, closure, and synthesis skills
610.351
Auditory discrimination exercises consist of four major groups. Each group is divided into levels of difficulty with
four to 11 levels for each group.
Group 1 requires the student to respond with “same” or “different” when presented with pairs of stimuli at the
word, phrase, or sentence level. Changes occur first in the middle position, then in the final position, followed by
changes in the initial position.
Group 2 requires the student to respond with “yes” when he discriminates the target presented in a hierarchical
order of difficulty.
Group 3 requires the student to identify targets placed in the beginning, middle, or end of a word. Long vowel
words are presented before short vowel words.
Group 4 requires the student discriminate between voiced and voiceless consonants and identify its position in
the word.
Auditory closure exercises consist of four major groups: missing words, missing syllables, missing phonemes,
and vocabulary building in context. Each of them is further divided into discrete steps. There are eight vocabulary
building exercises divided by grade level. All exercises include guidelines for presenting exercises with varying
levels of noise in the background.
Missing words exercises require the student to listen to context clues and supply a missing word.
Missing syllables exercises require the student to listen to context clues in order to supply the final, medial, or
initial syllable of a word.
Missing phonemes exercises require the student to listen to context clues in order to supply the missing sound in
final, medial, and initial positions.
Vocabulary exercises bring a “real-world” perspective to the area of auditory closure. Students apply prior auditory
closure strategies to the task of learning new vocabulary words presented at grade level.
Auditory synthesis exercises consist of three groups: phonemic analysis, phonemic synthesis, and phonemic
representations. Each of them is further divided into discrete levels based on order of difficulty.
Phonemic analysis exercises increase student awareness and ability to identify syllables and sounds in words.
Phonemic synthesis exercises focuses on combining sound segments into words.
Phonemic representation exercises continue strengthening speech-to-print associations.
