 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.

​

Teachers and parents can create 5 to 10 minutes of fun and engaging daily activities for four years old children and older using the rank order of phonological awareness tasks below to help prepare students in learning to read and spell effectively.
