English Auditory Discrimination Skills of Spanish-Speaking Children.
Kramer, Virginia Reyes; Schell, Leo M.
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v28 n1 p1-8 Mar 1982
Eighteen Mexican American pupils in the grades 1-3 from two urban Kansas schools were tested, using 18 pairs of sound contrasts, for auditory discrimination problems related to their language-different background. Results showed v-b, ch-sh, and s-sp contrasts were the most difficult for subjects to discriminate. (LC)
