Key Learning Goals Session 3
Phonological and Phonemic Awareness Instruction
To enable class participants to transform their theoretical understandings into classroom practices that support student development of phonological and phonemic awareness, including instructional strategies for:
identifying and producing oral rhymes identifying and working with onsets and rimes in
spoken syllables identifying and working with syllables in spoken
words identifying and working with individual phonemes in
spoken words, including isolating, segmenting, blending, deleting, adding, and substituting.

Phonological Awareness is……
The term that describes the awareness of sounds in oral language. Phonological awareness includes the understanding and skills of rhyming, segmenting, blending and manipulating at the word, syllable, and phoneme levels.

Phonemic Awareness is….
the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate individual sounds—phonemes—in spoken words.

Phonological Awareness vs. Phonemic Awareness
(Bourque, 2005)
Phonological Awareness is the whole “pie”.
Phonemic Awareness is a piece of the “pie”—the most complex piece.
Maine Department of Education 2005
6
Phonemic Awareness is important because….
it improves children’s word reading and reading comprehension.
it helps children learn to spell.
(NRP, 2000)
Maine Department of Education 2005
7
Phonemic awareness can be developed through a number of activities, including asking children to……
identify phonemes, categorize phonemes, blend phonemes to form words, segment words into phonemes, delete or add phonemes to form new
words, and substitute phonemes to make new words.
(NRP, 2000)
Maine Department of Education 2005
8
Phonemic Awareness instruction is most effective when….
children are taught to manipulate phonemes by using the letters of the alphabet.
instruction focuses on only one or two types of phoneme manipulation at a time.

Guidelines for Teaching Phonological Awareness
Grouping
Research indicates that small group instruction is more effective than whole group or one-on-one in helping students acquire phonological awareness.
Small group instruction may be more effective because students benefits from listening to their peers and from having more opportunities to participate.

Guidelines for Teaching Phonological Awareness
Systematic Instruction
During a lesson, target one or two types of phonological awareness, such as blending and segmenting phonemes.
Begin with easier activities and progress to more difficult ones.
Use words that students know and that are easy to manipulate. Consider……
The number of phonemes in a word. The phoneme position in words. The phonological properties of words.
Focus instruction on types of phonological awareness that are most closely associated with beginning reading and spelling, such as segmenting and blending phonemes.
Link phonemes to letters as soon as possible.(Just Read Florida K-3 Reading

Guidelines for Teaching Phonological Awareness
Explicit Instruction
Model each activity when introduced
Provide guided practice with supportive feedback
Monitor student progress and adjust instruction accordingly
Maine Department of Education 2005
15
How Can We Focus on Phonological Awareness?
Use language play, a variety of texts, and/or physical activities to introduce children to the similarities and differences in sounds of words to show that language has meaning, message, and form.

Materials to Develop Phonological Awareness
Alphabet and word games
Listening and whispering games to develop children’s ability to attend selectively to sounds.
Clapping, tapping, marching, naming and/or counting games to help children learn words can be divided into syllables and also into sounds.
Concrete objects like counters, Elkonin boxes, blocks, puppets, and pictures.

Considerations for Students with Learning Disabilities and/or Limited
English Proficiency
Capitalize on native language ability
Teach blending, segmenting, and manipulating individual phonemes and syllables
Accept oral approximations Focus on words students already
know
