 4Phonological Awareness
- Phonological awareness involves 
- segmenting- 
- pulling apart spoken words into sounds 
- blending- 
- putting sounds back together 
- manipulating- 
- adding, deleing, and substituting these sounds
South Dakota Standards Students are able to 
relate letters and sounds, and identify patterns 
in word and phases 
 5Phonemes
- Phonemic awareness specifically focuses on 
 individual sounds (known as phonemes) in words
- Phonemes are the smallest units of sound in 
 spoken words
6What We Know from Research
- Phonological awareness instruction improves 
 childrens understanding of how the words in
 spoken language are represented in print.
- Phonemic awareness helps all children learn to 
 read
7What We Know from Research
- Phonemic awareness instruction is most effective 
 when children are taught to use letters to
 represent phonemes
- Phonemic awareness also helps preschoolers, 
 kindergartners, and first graders learn to spell

 9Rhyme
- Match between ending sounds of words 
- Use Nursery Rhymes and Other Rhymes

May We? (clues)
Teacher You may jump the number of times as 
there are syllables (some teachers say beats or 
chunks for syllables) in the bunny. Students 
 Teacher, may we? 
 24Onset-RimeBlending and Segmentation
- Onset initial consonant or consonant cluster of 
 the word
- Rime vowel and consonants that follow the onset 
- In the word ca, the /k/ is the onset and the at 
 is the rime
25Activities with onset-rime manipulationGoing on

hunt! (slap toes) (slap knees)

 Whats this word?

knees) Students repeat Teacher /m/ (pause) /ap/ 
pause (slap toes) (slap 
knees) Students repeat Together mmmmmmmmmmmap 
 map! (slide hands from 
toes to knee) (slap knees) 
 26Activities with onset-rime manipulation Make a 
Word (letters)
Its a word.
It is not a word. 
 27Phoneme Blending andSegmentation
- Phoneme 
- Blending

- Words into 
- Phonemes
- Listening to a sequence of individual sounds and 
 combining them to pronounce a word
- Breaking a word into its individual sounds

36Say It and Move It 
 37Phoneme Manipulation
- Add /s/ to beginning of pinspin 
- Delete /t/ at beginning of traprap 
- Substitute /i/ in lip with /a/lap
38Grouping forInstruction
- Teach phonological 
- awareness, especially 
- phonemic awareness, 
- in small groups
39Explicit and SystematicPhonological Awareness 
Instruction
- Focus on types of phonological awareness most 
 closely associated with beginning reading and
 spelling achievement by linking phonemes to print
- Teach phonological awareness explicitly and 
 regularly schedule instruction
40Explicit and Systematic Phonological Awareness 
Instruction
- During a lesson, target only one type of 
 phonological awareness, such as blending phonemes
 or segmenting words into phonemes
- Begin with easier activities and progress to more 
 difficult ones
- Model each activity 
- As soon as possible, help children make the 
 connection between letters and sounds to read and
 spell words
41Ongoing Practice inPhonological Awareness 
- Provide opportunities to practice phonological 
 awareness with teacher support and guidance
- Integrate practice in phonological awareness 
 throughout the curriculum and school day
42Word Play
- Enhances phonological awareness as children 
 practice activities using words an concepts in
 stories and books that are read aloud
- Choose one of your childrens books 
- Develop a word play activity for your assigned 
 part
- On an index card, write title of book and 
 activity
- Post on the wall
43Phonological Awarenessand Phonics
Phonological Awareness
Phonics
- Phonological awareness instruction helps children 
 make the connection between letters and sounds
- During reading and spelling activities, children 
 begin to combine their knowledge of phonological
 awareness and phonics
44Taking a Closer Look
- Phonological awareness instruction is addressed 
 in different types of published programs
- Comprehensive core reading programs 
- Supplementary phonological awareness programs
45Consider DiversityEnglish Language Learners
- Capitalize on native language ability 
- Teach blending, segmenting, and manipulating 
 individual phonemes and syllables
- Accept oral approximations 
- Focus on words children already know
46Progress MonitoringPhonological Awareness
Results of individual administered reading 
inventories can help you make informed 
instructional decisions
