Phonological awareness is an individual's awareness of the phonological structure, or sound structure, of words. Teachers can use this checklist to test students' phonological awareness.
The phonological awareness continuum is a step-down process of teaching students' phonological awareness. The top two steps are often considered kindergarten skills.
Learn homophones by playing a bingo-type game. Students take turns selecting the top card, reading it aloud, and looking for matching homophones.
A guide for teaching consonant phonemes by place and manner of articulation.
Scatter domino cards face up on a flat surface. Taking turns, student one places the START domino on the table and reads the word on the other end of the domino. Select domino with the same underlined consonant sound and read the word to play.
Student will produce words with variant correspondences. Students make words by using various spelling patterns.
Identify variant correspondences in words: students write corresponding spelling patterns for long vowels in multisyllabic words
Student writes words with r-controlled vowel sounds using the correct spelling patterns.
Students spell words and state diphthongs (i.e., ou, ow, oi, oy) by playing a board game.
When we talk about phonemic awareness, we are not talking about phonics. Phonics refers to learning the sounds and letter combinations represent and using that knowledge to sound out words. Phonemic awareness, on the other hand, is the recognition that speech is made up of a series of individual sounds. It is the ability to rhyme, blend, segment, and manipulate.
Phonics skills: Long O, Inflected ending -ing (with and without spelling change: doubling final consonants)
