Phonemic awareness is the understanding that spoken words are made up of individual sounds, which are called phonemes. A child who is phonemically aware is able to isolate sounds, manipulate the sounds, blend and segment the sounds into spoken and written words.

Phonemic awareness is central in learning to read and spell. (Ehri, 1984)

Phonemic awareness is the most potent predictor of success in learning to read. (Stanovich, 1986)

Transition Discoveries is a research based model designed to improve current transition practices. This training provides an overview of transition and looks at resources available through the updated Transition Discoveries program. Young people with disabilities, families and professionals who support them make up a powerful network of relationships, knowledge and experience for what's working in transition. Through the power of collaboration, the Transition Discoveries initiative connects these networks into a detailed road map for success.
