Thesis (Ed.M.)--Boston University / The inability to hear similarities and differences between words causes difficulty for many children in learning to read. Since children
with this failing should be trained in auditory discrimination,
it is imperative that the teacher recognize those who require additional
ear training.
Many attempts have been made to develop a practical measure
which discriminates between the mediocre and poor achievers in auditory
perception of initial consonants. Boston University has developed
such a test which includes explicit directions geared to the nonreader,
is quick-scoring, and does not waste the precious quota of reading instruction
time.
The purpose of this study is to analyze 233 scores of the abovementioned
test in terms of reliability, measures of dispersion, and
the effects of teaching.
