Methodik: Die Risikokinder der Trainingsgruppe (n = 20) wurden {\"u}ber 11 Wochen mit den Programmen H{\"o}ren, Lauschen, Lernen 1 und 2 (K{\"u}spert \& Schneider, 2008; Plume \& Schneider, 2004) von Erzieherinnen gef{\"o}rdert. Sie wurden einer nicht-gef{\"o}rderten Risiko-Kontrollgruppe (n = 43) hinsichtlich ihrer Lese- und Rechtschreibleistungen sowie der H{\"a}ufigkeit von LRS von der 1. bis zur 3. Klasse gegen{\"u}bergestellt. Dabei wurden neben den Daten regul{\"a}r eingeschulter Kinder auch jene in die Analyse inkludiert, die vom Schulbesuch zur{\"u}ckgestellt wurden. Ergebnisse: Im 1. und 2. Grundschuljahr zeigten die trainierten Risikokinder im Lesen und Rechtschreiben einen mindestens tendenziellen Leistungsvorsprung gegen{\"u}ber nicht-gef{\"o}rderten Risikokindern. Trainingseffekte zeigten sich ebenfalls in einer Reduktion der Anzahl von Kindern mit LRS bis Klasse 2, tendenziell auch in Klasse 3. Schlussfolgerung: Insgesamt sprechen die Befunde f{\"u}r die Wirksamkeit des Trainings in der prim{\"a}ren Pr{\"a}vention von Lese-Rechtschreibschwierigkeiten bei Risikokindern unter alltagsnahen Bedingungen.}, language = {de} } @misc{NoirayPopescuKillmeretal.2019, author = {Noiray, Aude and Popescu, Anisia and Killmer, Helene and Robertus, Elina and Kr{\"u}ger, Stella and Hintermeier, Lisa}, title = {Spoken Language Development and the Challenge of Skill Integration}, series = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Humanwissenschaftliche Reihe}, journal = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Humanwissenschaftliche Reihe}, number = {598}, issn = {1866-8364}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-44472}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-444729}, pages = {19}, year = {2019}, abstract = {The development of phonological awareness, the knowledge of the structural combinatoriality of a language, has been widely investigated in relation to reading (dis)ability across languages. However, the extent to which knowledge of phonemic units may interact with spoken language organization in (transparent) alphabetical languages has hardly been investigated. The present study examined whether phonemic awareness correlates with coarticulation degree, commonly used as a metric for estimating the size of children's production units. A speech production task was designed to test for developmental differences in intra-syllabic coarticulation degree in 41 German children from 4 to 7 years of age. The technique of ultrasound imaging allowed for comparing the articulatory foundations of children's coarticulatory patterns. Four behavioral tasks assessing various levels of phonological awareness from large to small units and expressive vocabulary were also administered. Generalized additive modeling revealed strong interactions between children's vocabulary and phonological awareness with coarticulatory patterns. Greater knowledge of sub-lexical units was associated with lower intra-syllabic coarticulation degree and greater differentiation of articulatory gestures for individual segments. This interaction was mostly nonlinear: an increase in children's phonological proficiency was not systematically associated with an equivalent change in coarticulation degree. Similar findings were drawn between vocabulary and coarticulatory patterns. Overall, results suggest that the process of developing spoken language fluency involves dynamical interactions between cognitive and speech motor domains. Arguments for an integrated-interactive approach to skill development are discussed.}, language = {en} } @misc{KempertGoetzBlatteretal.2016, author = {Kempert, Sebastian Benjamin and G{\"o}tz, Regina and Blatter, Kristine and Tibken, Catharina and Artelt, Cordula and Schneider, Wolfgang and Stanat, Petra}, title = {Training Early Literacy Related Skills}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-101943}, pages = {16}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Well-developed phonological awareness skills are a core prerequisite for early literacy development. Although effective phonological awareness training programs exist, children at risk often do not reach similar levels of phonological awareness after the intervention as children with normally developed skills. Based on theoretical considerations and first promising results the present study explores effects of an early musical training in combination with a conventional phonological training in children with weak phonological awareness skills. Using a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design and measurements across a period of 2 years, we tested the effects of two interventions: a consecutive combination of a musical and a phonological training and a phonological training alone. The design made it possible to disentangle effects of the musical training alone as well the effects of its combination with the phonological training. The outcome measures of these groups were compared with the control group with multivariate analyses, controlling for a number of background variables. The sample included N = 424 German-speaking children aged 4-5 years at the beginning of the study. We found a positive relationship between musical abilities and phonological awareness. Yet, whereas the well-established phonological training produced the expected effects, adding a musical training did not contribute significantly to phonological awareness development. Training effects were partly dependent on the initial level of phonological awareness. Possible reasons for the lack of training effects in the musical part of the combination condition as well as practical implications for early literacy education are discussed.}, language = {en} }
