Phonemic awareness is important because it necessary for student's to read and write. When student's are able to hear, identify, and manipulate the sounds in words, they can decode (sound out) unfamiliar words while they read. Phonemic awareness is closely tied to spelling and writing as well. Understanding how words are constructed from sounds helps student's spell them correctly. Children who develop strong phonemic awareness skills before they start formal reading instruction tend to learn to read more easily and quickly.

This is what phonemic awareness could look like in the classroom. This video focuses on segmenting words. It takes words and asks students to listen closely and repeat what words they hear. For example, the word "pancake" is given. Students should respond with "pan" and "cake". This video is colorful and interactive to engage students!

Fluency is key to gaining a strong comprehension of the text being read. It builds a bridge between word recognition and comprehension. Once student's become fluent, they will have more attention available to focus on the story. In short, fluency makes reading more enjoyable and easier for student's.

Vocabulary development is key to writing, communication, reading comprehension, and overall literacy. The larger a student's vocabulary, the more effectively they can express ideas, understand what others are saying, and engage with a variety of texts. It helps students recognize words instantly without having to be decoded or sounded out.

Comprehension is the ability to understand written text. It involves a mix of word reading, language comprehension, and the ability to integrate what you read with what you already know.

Without comprehension, children gain no meaning from what they read. It allows students to understand the meaning of what they read, and it's a key component of effective communication. It's a skill they carry with to succeed in school, work, and life in general.
