[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PAF is easy to practice at home. It measures fluency so spend one minute each night on it. [/quote]

What is PAF?[/quote]

PSF is phonemic segmentation fluency. If you hear a word, can you break it down into individual sounds? [/quote]

Is that not what they are doing in schools? Honest question…seems pretty obv that is how you should teach a child to read. [/quote]

So PSF has the instructor say the word, without giving the kid the written word to read.

Ex: teacher says sun. Student is supposed to say s/u/n (sounds not letters).

It’s about whether you can hear all components (including which sounds are digraphs and consonant blends) and separate them into their components.

This seems to help my kid with writing words, like, he will pause and say the sounds he hears in a word before writing a word he doesn’t know how to spell.

Versus the rest of dibels, which focuses on the opposite- if you’re shown a word, letter, or nonsense word, can you make the correct sound/blend?[/quote]
