Teaching Phonemic Awareness
What it is
Phonemic awareness is hearing and working with the individual sounds in spoken words: knowing that cat has three sounds, or that changing the first sound of cat makes hat. In Kindergarten the picture pages work on four things in turn: rhymes, syllables to count, first sounds, and words of three sounds.
When a child is ready
It comes before and alongside letter sounds; a child who can rhyme and clap syllables is ready to isolate first sounds.
If they struggle
Keep it oral. Say a word slowly, stretch the sounds, and have the child count them on fingers. Practice first sounds, then last sounds, then middle sounds, a few minutes a day.
