The article presents a background on phonological awareness and its relationship to language and learning disabilities, and postulates that phonological discrimination skills are developmental in nature. Given the strong positive relationship found in the literature, the study investigated the phonological discrimination skills of two cohorts of infants between 0;8 and 1;6, and discovered that 65% of both groups of infants responded reliably to the task, while the remainder did not meet the reliability of response criteria. The groups of infants were re-assessed when the first group was 5 and the second group was 3 years of age, in matched groups of those who passed and failed the phonological discrimination task. The results, although preliminary in nature, indicated that there were significant differences in the performance of both groups of children on a receptive language measure (PPVT), where those children who failed scored lower than the passing children. Preventive intervention implications from these findings are also discussed.
