      <title>Phonemic Awareness Resource Padlet by Learwinson Jackson</title>
      <link>https://padlet.com/jacksonlearwinson/2n92aek899fu0nhm</link>
      <description>Welcome to the Phonemic Awareness Resource Padlet—a practical, research-aligned hub for building the listening and speaking skills that underpin fluent reading. Phonemic awareness is the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate the individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken words. When students can blend, segment, add, delete, and substitute sounds with ease, they are better prepared to map speech to print, decode unfamiliar words, and spell with confidence. Appropriate for PreK–Grade 2 and for older striving readers, these resources help you target sound skills efficiently, with clear routines, quick checks, and ready-to-teach activities daily.</description>
