Phonological Awareness

     Phonological awareness refers to a child’s ability to hear and manipulate sounds. Be aware that this skill has nothing to do with written letters or words. It is purely verbal.

     By developing phonological awareness students will begin to play with rhyme, decide whether spoken words have the same beginning or ending sounds, and for older students practice dividing words by  syllables. However, developing phonological awareness is essential for children of all ages. In fact, this ability is the biggest indicator of future reading success.
​
     Luckily, Dr. Seuss books are a great way to practice phonological awareness with your students. As you read with them, you can practice making different sounds, explore alliteration and most importantly look at rhyme.
