Description: Similar to cycles approach, based on metalinguistic awareness and therapy is structured to develop the child's metaphonological skills

Metalinguistic Awareness: the ability to think about and reflect on the nature of language and the way it functions

Metaphonology: the ability to pay attention to and reflect on the phonological structure of language (Howell & Dean, 1991, 1994)

This therapy approach would work well for preschool children because their metaphonological skills are developing

Consists of 2 phases:

• developing phonological awareness

• developing phonological and communicative awareness
