In Kindergarten through 3rd grade, students beginning with learning phonological awareness and phonemic awareness because both deal with sounds. Being able to hear and identify a letter's sound is the key to being able to read. I specifically chose to focus on resources for phonemic awareness because this is where students begin to  blend individual sounds into a word. If the students don't catch onto this method during first grade it will be difficult to process their readings during the third grade.

Below is a link to the difference of phonological awareness and phonemic awareness.
