Phonological and Phonemic Awareness

Phoneme blending is harder than working with onset and rime.
The word "eight" consists of 2 phonemes.
Phonological skills can be classified from simplest to most complex:
- Simplest: Word (counting words in a sentence)
- Syllable:
  - Counting syllables
  - Segmenting syllables
  - Identifying positions of syllables (first, last, middle)
  - Blending and manipulating syllables (adding, deleting, substituting)
- Complex: Onset-rime
  - Blending onset and rime
  - Onset and rime completion
  - Rhyming words generation and identification
- Most complex: Phonemic awareness
  - Isolating sounds
  - Identifying sounds in words (e.g., first, last)
  - Blending and segmenting sounds
  - Sound manipulation (adding, deleting, substituting)
Phonological awareness involves the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate onsets and rimes in words.
Phonemic awareness refers to the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate individual sounds in words.
An example of phonemic awareness is a child categorizing pictures based on the starting sound.
Common phonological awareness activities include syllable blending.
During phonological awareness instruction, teachers should:
- Use multisensory activities for engagement
- Ensure mastery of each skill before progressing
- Start with simpler skills and gradually increase complexity
Phonemic awareness can be assessed by educators, is crucial for reading development, and can be introduced through games.
Phonemic awareness is a component of larger phonological awareness, which includes tasks focused on phonemes, rhymes, syllables, and more.
