PASS

By Froma Roth, Ph.D., Colleen Worthington, M.S., & Gary Troia, Ph.D.

Promoting Awareness of Speech Sounds (PASS)

A Phonological Awareness Program for Preschool through Early Elementary

P

romoting Awareness of Speech Sounds (PASS) is the first research-based phonological awareness program for preschoolers that can also be used with early-elementary students struggling with reading.

A playful, effective, and highly motivating program, PASS helps young children hear the sounds in words and develop the phonological awareness skills that build a foundation for reading success.

Joining forces with an irresistible puppet—Goldie the golden retriever—you’ll lead activities and crafts that get kids ready to read while they’re having fun. The 76 lessons were specifically designed to teach key early literacy skills identified by the National Reading Panel, including rhyming, segmenting and blending syllables, and segmenting and blending phonemes. Use PASS anywhere young children need phonological awareness interventions—in classrooms or learning centers, in groups or one-to-one instruction.

Why PASS?

3

Proven effective. In studies, children who received PASS instruction did better on multiple measures of emergent literacy than those who received regular classroom instruction.

3

Aligns with Common Core. PASS is research-based and aligns with national standards, including Common Core Standards for English Language Arts.

3

Great for use with RTI. PASS is an effective Tier 2 instructional program that fits right in with your RTI model. (It can also be used as Tier 3 intervention for students with disabilities.)

3

Targets phonological awareness. PASS keeps a tight focus on phonological awareness, an essential building block of early literacy that many children struggle with.

3

Versatile and flexible. PASS is ideal for use with preschoolers, but it’s the first program of its kind that can also be used with early elementary students who struggle with reading skills.

3

Saves you planning time. All the materials and scripted guidelines are included for you, so you can spend less time planning instruction and more time teaching.

3

Enriches your existing curriculum. There’s no need to stop what you’re doing—PASS is a perfect complement to your current early literacy program.

3

Explicitly addresses national Head Start and state Preschool Learning Fundamentals outcomes in Language and Literacy, and supports Social and Emotional Development, Approaches to Learning, Creative Arts Expression, and Physical Development and Health.

“PASS is a good blend between play and structure . . . fits right in with our play-based activities.”

—Amy Minter, pre-K teacher, Little Red Schoolhouse, Middleton, WI

You’ll get 76 fun and engaging lessons, divided into 3 main units of instruction: Rhyming, Blending, and Segmenting.

Lessons are organized in a “PASS Scope and Sequence,” carefully designed to lead children step by step through the learning process. It begins with simple recognition tasks, advances to judgment activities, and ends with the most difficult task—production.

Each PASS activity includes a story, a fun craft, a song or fingerplay, or a movement activity— with you and Goldie the Puppy leading the way.

Scripted instructions make it easy to pick up PASS and start using it right away. You’ll also find suggestions for how to model skills and give effective feedback.

eveloped by highly respected creators of the Pyramid Model for Promoting Social Emotional Competence In Infants and Young Children, the TPOT™ is an in-depth observation tool that measures how well teachers are implementing all three levels of the model: universal, targeted, and individualized supports. A trained administrator conducts a classroom observation and teacher interview, uncovering detailed information about the quality of 14 key teaching practices, noting red flags that indicate areas for immediate support, and observing how teachers respond to challenging behaviors. TPOT™ results show schools which practices are being implemented successfully—and what teachers need to focus on to ensure positive social-emotional outcomes for young children ages 2–5.

SEAM™ IS A TWO-PART ASSESSMENT:

SEAM™ Tool. The main SEAM™ includes three intervals with different developmental ranges: Infant (2–18 months), Toddler (18–36 months), and Preschool (36–66 months). Each interval assesses 10 child benchmarks critical to social-emotional competence, including empathy, adaptive skills, self-image, emotional responses, and healthy interactions with others. The SEAM™ system also includes SEAM™ with Ages, an alternate version of the tool annotated with a helpful list of age ranges for each item. This version makes it easy to give caregivers general guidance on how social-emotional skills typically develop and where their child’s development fits on the continuum.

SEAM™ Family Profile. The Family Profile assesses parent/caregiver strengths and helps identify areas in which they need more supports to foster their child’s social-emotional skills. Like the SEAM™, the Family Profile assessment includes three intervals—Infant, Toddler, and Preschool. Each interval measures four benchmarks: responding to needs, providing activities and play, providing predictable routines and an appropriate environment, and ensuring home safety.

Efficient, highly sensitive assessment

Better IFSP/IEP goal development

AEPS® makes it so easy to improve your IFSPs and IEPs. Using assessment results as a guide, pinpoint areas in which the child needs intervention and select them as IFSP/ IEP goals and objectives. AEPS® includes a helpful list of sample goals and objectives to use as a model for writing meaningful IFSPs and IEPs. (And if you use the EasyIEP system, goals and objectives from AEPSi™ can even be transferred to your EasyIEP account.)

AEPS

You’ll assess goals and objectives across developmental areas while observing children and their caregivers engaging in everyday activities. The AEPS® Test provides a thorough picture of a child’s development, showing delays and progress that many tests miss so you can consistently connect children with effective instruction. And the convenient group assessments let you complete the entire test for up to 6 children at a time during just a few routine activities—a big time-saver!

helps your program

1. Better assessments through the power of play.

During a fun and naturalistic play session, professionals assess development in 4 key areas while the child plays with family members and a team play facilitator. Because children stay relaxed and engaged, TPBA2 elicits more meaningful and accurate results than many traditional assessment strategies. It focuses on strengths, assessing what children can do instead of what they can’t. And it gets parents involved, so they learn more about their child’s development and how to encourage progress.

TPBA2/TPBI2

2. Positive, playful interventions that improve real-world skills.

After the play session results are reviewed, it’s easy to link TPBA2’s assessment data to individualized, play-based intervention activities. Unlike more traditional intervention approaches, TPBI2 shows you how to partner with parents to tailor a unique program of activities that work with their child’s strengths, interests, and learning processes.

Interventions fit right into the family’s daily routines, so children learn new skills in familiar settings and generalize them successfully.

3. Affordable and convenient staff training.

Get the Observing Kassandra DVD for your staff, and they’ll have a convenient, cost-effective way to practice their skills in a simulated TPBA2 session with a preschooler. The DVD package includes everything you need for training: a 50-minute DVD of Kassandra’s recorded play session, a tablet of blank TPBA2 forms, a CD-ROM with sample completed forms, and a helpful training workbook.
