Quick Quiz Phonemic Phonological, or Phonics?
3. How many sounds are in cup?
Phonemic – break into individual phonemes 4. Find all of the words in the sentence that have the letter that makes the /m/ mmmmm sound. Phonics- match sounds to letters
have? Phonological: break down word into smaller parts 2. Say a word that rhymes with bat. (Phonological- rhyming sounds)
Quick Quiz Phonemic Phonological, or Phonics?
5. Put the sounds /d/, /o/, /g/ together and
say the word. Phonemic- manipulate phonemes to make words 6. What letter makes the first sound in pop? Phonics- match letter to sound

Assessing Phonemic Readiness for Phonological Development ("Bell, bike, and boy all have /b/ at
the beginning." The beginning sound of dog is /d/. The ending sound of sit is /t/.“ • /m/, /a/, /p/-- map • up--/u/, /p/
ASSESSING PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS identifying and working with onsets and
rimes in spoken syllables or onesyllable words; "The first part of sip is s-." "The last part of win is -in." identifying and working with individual phonemes in spoken words. "The first sound in sun is /s/."
Teaching Phonemic and Phonological Awareness Research indicates that phonological
awareness can be taught and that students who increased their awareness of phonemes facilitated their subsequent reading acquisition (Lundberg et al, 1988).
ASSESSING PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS identify and make oral rhymes;
"The pig has a (wig)." "Pat the (cat)." "The sun is (fun)." identify and work with syllables in spoken words; "I can clap the parts in my name: Andrew."
Teaching Phonemic and Phonological Awareness Teachers need to be aware of instructional
activities that can help their students become aware of phonemes before they receive formal reading instruction; they need to realize that phonemic awareness will become more sophisticated as students' reading skills develop.

awareness can be taught and that students who increased their awareness of phonemes facilitated their subsequent reading acquisition (Lundberg et al, 1988).

Teaching Phonemic and Phonological Awareness (General Principles)
General Principles Teachers need to be aware of instructional
activities that can help their students become aware of phonemes before they receive formal reading instruction; they need to realize that phonemic awareness will become more sophisticated as students' reading skills develop.
(1) Engage children in activities that direct their attention to the sounds in words, such as rhyming and alliteration games (2) Teach students to segment and blend .(Example)
.
(Example)
(3) Combine training in segmentation and blending with instruction in letter-sound relationships. .(Example)

(4) Teach segmentation and blending as complementary processes. (5) Systematically sequence examples when teaching segmentation and blending. (6) Teach for transfer to novel tasks and contexts. .(Example)
.(Example)
Phonological Development Activities General Principles
(e) Make sure the tone of the activity is not evaluative but rather fun and informal. Spending a few minutes daily engaging preschool, kindergarten, and first-grade [and older] children in oral activities that emphasize the sounds of language may go a long way in helping them become successful readers and learners.
Teaching Phonemic and Phonological Awareness General Principles (a) Keep a sense of playfulness and fun, avoid drill and rote memorization. (b) Use group settings that encourage interaction among children. (c) Encourage children's curiosity about language and their experimentation with it. (d) Allow for and be prepared for individual differences.

to hear rhymes and alliteration as
measured by knowledge of nursery rhymes to do oddity tasks (comparing and contrasting the sounds of words for rhyme and alliteration) to blend and split syllables
Differentiated Instruction More advanced activities are those in
which students delete or add phonemes to form new words, and activities in which students substitute phonemes to make new words.
Levels of Literacy Development
to perform phonemic segmentation (such
as counting out the number of phonemes in a word) to perform phoneme manipulation tasks (such as adding, deleting a particular phoneme and regenerating a word from the remainder).
Differentiated Instruction Activities for students in the early stages
should include identifying and categorizing phonemes. Students who can identify and categorize phonemes should work with activities that help them learn to blend phonemes to form words and to segment words into phonemes.
