"Phonemic Awareness"
What is Phonemic Awareness?
Phonemic Awareness is not a skill but it is the ability to explore language independent of the
meaning of a word (hear the sounds that make up the words), to attend to the sounds in the
context of a word (see relationships between sounds), to manipulate component sounds
(change and move sounds to create new words).
Children with strong phonemic awareness
skills helps them understand, use and apply oral language. Research indicates phonemic
awareness is a good predictor of future reading and spelling success
During our sessions, the children will actively engage in large and small group activities.
Each week we will play a language based game. The activities will encompass learning
about sounds of words, sequence sounds, manipulate sounds, separate sounds, syllables and
rhythm and rhyme, as well as learning about cooperative social interactions with peers.
The class is designed for children in Kindergarten - 1 st grade.
The group class will be taught by Patti Cosentino, Early Childhood Special Education Teacher
and another BTH staff member
