- Courses
Research shows that Phonemic Awareness is a strong predictor of long term reading and spelling success. “It can predict literacy performance more accurately than intelligence, vocabulary knowledge and socio economic status” (Gillon, 2004)
Episode #52 takes a close look at Phonemic Awareness, as this skill is a very crucial component that many teachers and commercial programs often overlook.
While we use our eyes to read, the true starting point for reading is speech sounds. Phonemic awareness is 100% auditory, meaning it is only related to the sounds a letter makes, or the sounds letters make together in a word.
Tune in as I unpack the 8 core phonemic awareness skills and load you up with practical strategies and explanations.
