Word awareness: Tap one time for every word you hear in a sentence. "I like cookies."

Syllable awareness: Blending- put these words together to make a whole word: rock-et. (rocket)

On-set Awareness: Rhyme recognition- Do these two words rhyme?: ham, jam? Yes.

Tell me a word that rhymes with nut.

Categorization: Which word do not belong? mat, cat, sun, fat? sun.

Phoneme Awareness: Isolation- What is the first sound in fan? (/f/)

What is the last sound in fan? (/n/)

What is the middle sound in fan? (/a/)

Identification- Which word has the same sound as car: fan, corn, or map? (corn)

Categorization: Which word does not belong? bus, ball, house? (house)

Blending- Which word am I saying? /b/l/g/)

Substitution- The act of replacing one phoneme in a word with another phoneme to make a new word. (Reading Universe)

Deletion- Involves having students manipulate spoken words by deleting specific phonemes. (TTAConline)

Addition- Adding phonemes to a given word to produce a new word. For instance, starting with the word we and adding the phoneme /k/ to the end turns it into week. (Really Great Reading Blog, March 22, 2019)

Segmentation- Separating a word into its individual sounds, like cat pulled apart makes /c/ /a/ /t/ (Al Overview)

Blending- Combining individual sounds to form a word, like /c/ /a/ /t/ to make cat. (Al Overview)

Phoneme Isolation- A strategy that helps develop students' phonemic awareness, which is part of phonological awareness. Phonemic isolation involves having students identify specific phonemes in (e.g., first, middle, last sound). (DPI)

Most children will say these sounds

r

zh (as in "treasure")

th (as in "the")

Siblings, friends, parents, and others can usually understand the child.

Sound Sample

r red

zh treasure

th th

(Crowe and Mclead, 2020)

Most children will learn to say this sound:

th (as in "teeth")

Sound Sample

th teeth

(Crowe and Mclead, 2020)

6 years: Using LEGO bricks, beads, or pennies, say a word and have your child show you how many sounds the word makes. For example, tap = t-o-p = three sounds, so your child would place three objects in a row. Then have them tap each object as they say the sound. (Reading Rockets)

7years: Goal. 2nd graders should recognize rhyming word pairs (flutter/butter), and tell you the first, middle, and last sounds at the end of words, like an -s, -ing, or -ed. They should be able to separate a word into syllables, or beats, they hear. (Read Charlotte)

Phonemic awareness can help my teaching practices by teaching students the appropriate and effective ways of teaching children phonemic awareness. Children need to learn how to articulate, and sound out letters and words correctly to develop effective, comprehension, grammar and language skills.

Your students need phonemic awareness. If you want them to be able to decode unfamiliar words and sound out words they come across when they are reading. If a student can blend the word, they can then read the word. (Janelle McArdle, August 13, 2023)

To understand phonemic awareness, you have to acquire the knowledge, understanding, skills, and appropriate training to effectively teach students phonemic skills. Having these adequate techniques can help students to become fluent in building their oral language, pronunciation, cognitive, and reading development. Students can understand the importance of what they are seeing, importance of the different sounds letter/words make, word recognition, and what they are reading. Phonemic awareness can help strengthen students learning, academic development, and successful outcomes.
