Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the application ability of phonological rules through the phonological judgment task, which is a task to judge whether phonemes read through visual recognition and auditory spoken by task are similar. Methods: A total of 30 students were enrolled in a total of 30 elementary school students living in Gyeon-ggi Province. The task has chosen nine of the most popular phonological rules, which are most commonly applied based on prior study. The phonological judgment task is composed of 72 items of 2 syllable words. The clues were consisted of words and non words. The subjects were compared with the speech and phoneme clues that were read through the visual recognition of the word to which the phonological rule was applied. Results: First, in the phonological judgment task, both the words and the non word got high scores in the order of 3rd, 2nd, and 1st grade. In addition, there were significant differences in terms of significance between words and non words. Second, the ability of applying the phonological rules of words in the first, second, and third grades is higher than the phonological rule application ability of non words. Conclusion: In the phonological judgment tasks such as the reading and writing tasks of the previous studies, the ability to apply phonological rules increased as the grade level increased. The phonological judgment task used in this study showed significant difference in the lower grade children, so it was found that it is an appropriate task to find out the ability of the phonological rules applied in the lower grades of school age.
