Phonemic Awareness

266 Words2 Pages
Phonemic Awareness is the capability to be able “to hear, identify and manipulate individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken words.” Phonemic Awareness is important because it advances children’s reading and spelling. It allows them to distinguish the sounds within spoken words. Phonemic Awareness is critical for the success of the comprehension of spoken words. A couple ways teachers could be able to teach phonemic awareness is through classroom games. These games could involve children learning what syllables are. For example, children could pick any word and start clapping to it to determine how many syllables are in that word. By being able to understand syllables children will understand that words can be broken up into different parts.
