 Phonological Awareness

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

 

Phonemic Awareness (or Phoneme Awareness)

Our conscious awareness that words are made up of the individual sounds of the language. This is where problems in reading and spelling begin—learning the sounds and processing the sounds of the language. That is why this is our first workbook and it is now available on Amazon. Follow the link below to learn more.

 

Phonological Awareness

The awareness of all levels of the sound system of the language, including blending, scooping, stress patterns, syllables, onset and rime units, and phonemes. It fully encompasses phonemic awareness.

​

Teachers and parents can create 5–10 minutes of fun, engaging daily activities for four-year-old children and older by following the rank order of phonological awareness tasks below. These quick, playful practices help prepare students to learn to read and spell effectively.
