Phonemic Awareness
What is it?
Phonemic awareness is the ability to identify and manipulate individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken words.
Why is it important?
Phonemic awareness is a great indicator for knowing if your child is heading on the right path for becoming a successful reader. The simple feat of recognizing a sound or collection of sounds is the first step to becoming comfortable and familiar with audible sound patterns and being able to form words off of those said patterns.
