 Phonological Awareness

the foundation for learning to read,   the linchpin for early literacy  success

Phonemic or phoneme awareness - our conscious awareness that words are made up of sounds of the language. This is where the problems in reading and spelling begin - learning the sounds and processing the sounds of the language hence this is our first workbook 

​

 

Phonological awareness - the awareness of all levels of the sound systems of the language such as blending, scooping, stress patterns, syllables, onset and rime units, including phonemes and encompassing phonemic awareness.
