Phonological screening was done in preschool bilinguals as it was observed that there is a tendency of least and less efficient performance in spoken English as compare to written. So this screening was done among the preschoolers as it was their school’s rule to communicate in English during school hours. This study was conducted to screen out phonological processes among preschool bilingual children .A cross sectional study was done. Sample of 300 participants were taken. Phonological awareness screening tool Q-PAS was used. In which phonological awareness process i.e. rhyme production, rhyme awareness, word awareness, syllable awareness, sound awareness at initial medial and final position and deletion tasks etc. later on, when whole data was gathered. Cross tab analysis was done through SPSS. All of the variable were explained according to age of participant and class i.e. grades in which students were studying. Their responses were categorized in poor, fair and excellent criteria. The calculated results showed that in the manner of spoken students are unaware of many phonological processes. At the ends, as result it was figured out that bilingual preschoolers tried well but their results showed that they have errors in phonological processes i.e. rhyme production, sound blending, sound segmentation, sounds identification at different positions of word.
