    Which of the following is not related to fluency of speech?

    • Monotone voice

    • Stuttering

    • Saying "um" between words

    Correct Answer
    A. Monotone voice
    Explanation
    A monotone voice refers to speaking in a flat, unvarying tone without any inflection or emotion. While it may affect the overall quality of speech, it is not directly related to fluency. Fluency primarily refers to the smoothness, flow, and ease with which one can speak without interruptions or hesitations. Stuttering and saying "um" between words are examples of speech disfluencies that can affect fluency.

    • Have difficulty conveying what they mean

    • Cannot form proper speech sounds

    • Are cognitively impaired

    Correct Answer
    A. Have difficulty conveying what they mean
    Explanation
    Students with language disorders have difficulty conveying what they mean. This means that they struggle to express their thoughts and ideas effectively, often experiencing challenges in finding the right words or organizing their thoughts in a coherent manner. Language disorders can affect both spoken and written language, making it difficult for these students to communicate their thoughts and feelings accurately. It is important to provide appropriate support and intervention to help these students improve their communication skills.

    Correct Answer
    A. More often in boys
    Explanation
    Speech and language disorders occur more often in boys. This is supported by research and studies that have consistently shown a higher prevalence of speech and language disorders in boys compared to girls. Various factors such as genetic, hormonal, and neurological differences between boys and girls may contribute to this disparity. Additionally, boys might be more susceptible to certain risk factors that can lead to speech and language disorders, such as developmental delays or certain medical conditions.

    Explanation
    Pragmatics refers to how language is used in a social context. It involves understanding the meaning behind words and phrases based on the context, as well as the intentions and goals of the speaker. Pragmatics helps us interpret and respond to language appropriately in different social situations, taking into account factors such as tone, body language, and cultural norms.

  • 7. 

    Why should we encourage good vocal hygiene?

    • So that our classrooms are quiet

    • So that children can become more articulate

    • So that children do not develop vocal nodules

    Correct Answer
    A. So that children do not develop vocal nodules
    Explanation
    Encouraging good vocal hygiene is important to prevent the development of vocal nodules in children. Vocal nodules are small, benign growths on the vocal cords that can cause hoarseness, difficulty speaking, and pain. By promoting good vocal hygiene, such as avoiding excessive shouting or straining the voice, children can maintain vocal health and prevent the formation of nodules. This will ultimately help them to communicate effectively and avoid potential vocal problems in the future.

    Explanation
    Approximately 20% of children with disabilities have a speech or language disorder. This indicates that a significant portion of children with disabilities experience difficulties in speech or language development. It is important to provide appropriate support and interventions to help these children overcome their communication challenges and enhance their overall development and well-being.

    Articulation isn't fully developed until age ___.

    • 4

    • 6

    • 8

    Correct Answer
    A. 8
    Explanation
    Articulation refers to the ability to produce speech sounds correctly. It involves coordinating the movements of the articulatory organs such as the tongue, lips, and jaw. At the age of 8, a child's articulation skills are expected to be fully developed. By this age, most children have mastered the correct production of all speech sounds and their speech is clear and intelligible to others.

    A. 90
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 90. This means that speech should be at least 90% intelligible by kindergarten. This suggests that by the time children reach kindergarten, they should be able to communicate and express themselves clearly, with only 10% of their speech being difficult to understand. It is important for young children to develop clear speech skills in order to effectively communicate with their peers and teachers.
