PASS Video: Who can benefit?

Promoting Awareness of Speech Sounds (PASS)

The first-ever, research-based, phonological awareness program for preschoolers that extends to early elementary-aged children AND aligns to Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts.

An engaging puppy hand-puppet (Goldie) will motivate your young students to rhyme, segment and blend syllables, and segment and blend phonemes—the phonological awareness skills that build the foundation for their literacy and speech development.

Six distinct research studies have demonstrated that direct instruction using PASS—which includes 3 units and 76 lessons of instruction—has a significant positive effect on children’s development of phonological awareness skills.

Research

The evidence basis for PASS comes from 6 studies which are each described in the PASS Research PDF document. The primary purpose of the first two studies was to determine the efficacy of PASS for preschool children with speech and language impairments. The third study was designed as an exploratory investigation to examine the long-term benefits of PASS on children’s literacy development. The aim of the fourth and fifth studies was to ascertain the effectiveness of PASS as a Tier 2 instructional program within a response-to-intervention (RTI) educational model for at-risk 3- and 4-year old children. The sixth study was a pilot investigation to determine the effectiveness of PASS for preschool children who are English-language learners (ELLs). For all studies, PASS instruction was implemented in conjunction with systematic training in the alphabetic principle.
