About This Product
Help your students learn to read by teaching them how to "listen to language."
Before children can understand printed words, they need to hear and manipulate
letter sounds. Phonemic Awareness is a complete resource book that includes
over 90 interactive activities, reproducible manipulatives, picture cards, and
word lists to help children connect oral language to written text. This book
also includes a complete program overview with important facts about phonemic
awareness to help you guide your students' language development. This all-in-one,
ready-to-use resource book is a "must" for primary reading teachers.

What is Phonemic Awareness?
Students need to have a strong understanding of spoken language before they
can understand written language. This knowledge of how language works is called
phonemic awareness. Phonemic awareness is not a skill.
It is the ability:
to examine language independent of meaning (hear sounds that make up the words).
to attend to sounds in the context of a word (see relationships between sounds).
to manipulate component sounds (alter and rearrange sounds to create new words).
