This includes awareness of words, their syllabication, onset - Rime, and Rhyme.  Phonological Awareness is like this umbrella with the other components to reading instruction under it.

Classroom Activities: 
  •  Block (Syllables)- Using the blocks that attach, read each vocabulary word and attach one link to represent each syllable
  • Traveling to School (Rhyme)- I begin by saying, "On my way to school, I saw a park," then toss a bean bag to another student. This student has to repeat my sentence but replace park with a word which rhymes with park.  
At Home Activity: 
  • (Syllable) - Using pictures and things found in the home, have the student clap the numbers of syllables for various things, such as window, 2 syllables.

We call this manipulating a phoneme.  We take a sound and changing it somehow.
Classroom Activity:
  • Phoneme Isolation: The students are given a sound and they have to use that sound at the beginning of another word. 
  • Making Friends with Phonemes:

Our automaticity or ability to automatically recognize a word helps students read more fluently.
Classroom Activity: 
  • Teachers can use read aloud stories so children can hear proper voice inflection, speed/pace, or expression. 
  • Have students practice fluency from posters in the classroom. The have students read and re-read in a silly or different accent or voice.  
At Home Activity:
  • Have the student read to an adult using a word pointer or paper to keep track of where they are; it builds confidence in reading.

Classroom Activity:
  • Asking and answering questions then leading to generating and answering their own questions. 
  • During whole group reading we read a page then make a prediction as to what is going to happen in the next page. 
At Home Activity:
  • Summarizing what has been read is a great way to increase comprehension. Read with your child and ask them to summarize it on post it notes.
