Phonemic Awareness

• The National Reading Panel concluded that children who enter first grade with a wealth of phonological and phonemic awareness are more likely to be successful readers.

Phonological and Phonemic Awareness

• Involves identification and manipulation of parts of spoken language

• Phonemes are often referred to as “sounds” or “isolated sounds”

Phoneme Isolation

• Children recognize individual sounds in a word

“What is the first sound in van?”Child: “The first sound in van is /v/.”

Phoneme identity

• Recognizing the same sounds in different words.

“What sound is the same in fix, fall, and fun?”

“The first sound, /f/, is the same.”National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. (2000). Report of the National Reading Panel.

Phoneme Categorization

• Recognizing the word in a set of three or four that has the ‘odd’ sound.

“Which word doesn’t belong? Bus, bun, rug.

“Rug doesn’t belong!”National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. (2000). Report of the National Reading Panel. Teaching children to read: an

Blending in Action

• “Listen, we are going to play a say-the-word game. I’ll say a word slowly, then you say the word fast!”

• “Listen, (pause) iiiiffff. What word?• Child’s response, “If.”• Repeat with three more words like: sad,

fun am.National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. (2000). Report of the National Reading Panel.

Blending

• Requires students to translate a series of blended sounds into a word said at a normal rate.

• Hold each continuous sound for one to two seconds…

“mmmaaannn”• Then blend into the word…

“man”National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. (2000). Report of the National Reading Panel. Teaching children to read: an

Correcting Errors

Generally 3 types of mistakes1. Leaving out a sound2. Mispronouncing a sound3. Saying the word slowly like you said the word

• Say the correct answer, “Sad.”• “Ssssaaaaddd, (pause) what word?

Sad.”• “Your turn (pause). Sssaaaddd. What

word?” (wait for correct response)National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. (2000). Report of the National Reading Panel.

Segmenting a Word

• Breaking a word into separate sounds, saying each sound as they tap out or count it. Then write and read the word.“How many sounds are in grab?”“/g/ /r/ /a/ /b/. Four sounds!”“Now write the sounds in grab.”“Now let’s say the word grab.”

Segmenting and Blending

• Modeling saying the word slowly• Signaling• Monitoring your child’s response• Pacing• Individual turns• Selecting examplesNational Institute of Child Health and Human Development. (2000). Report of the National Reading Panel. Teaching children to read: an

Rhyming

• Prepares your child to see the relationship between letter clusters: fan, pan, tan, and man

• Prepares students for sounding out words that begin with stop sounds

• Introduced AFTER mastery of combined segmenting and blending
