Fun with Phonemic Awareness!

Click here for Parent Tips and Videos for Working on Phonemic Awareness

Your child is learning that words are made up of individual sounds. They may be blending sounds into words, breaking words into sounds, or changing up the sounds in words to form new ones. Below, you will see the child blending sounds into words.
Always:
  • Start with 2-sound words, and build up to 3, 4, 5 sound words
  • Celebrate success

  • Keep it playful
Avoid:
  • Having child guess
  • Mouthing the sounds
  • Explicitly linking sounds to letters
