Phonemic Awareness is the ability to hear sounds in words. Children need to learn that words are made up of letters, of which each one has one or more sounds. Phonemic awareness is the ability to isolate the sounds that make up a word. Learning this skill prepares children to read and write.
What can parents do at home? Read books with rhythm and rhyme. Children love these books too because they are playful and sometimes silly. Below is a list of books that are great for building phonemic awareness from site: Readingtarget.com
