What is Phonemic Awareness?

Let’s break down the concept of phonemic awareness and explain why it’s a crucial skill for early literacy and reading success.

This is a step-by-step explanation of how to identify and teach phonemic awareness to children, especially those struggling with reading or language development.

Phonemic awareness is the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate the individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken words.

Watch as we use engaging visuals, a puppet, and a magic whiteboard to make this concept easy to understand and fun to teach!

Learn how phonemic awareness helps children connect sounds to letters, improve decoding skills, and build a strong foundation for reading fluency.

This resource is ideal for teaching kids ages 4-8, whether in the classroom or at home.
