As a teacher of emergent readers, it is essential to understand the foundation of successful reading instruction. The science of reading tells us daily, explicit, and systematic instruction in phonological awareness is key to future reading achievement. Phonological awareness is the ability to identify and manipulate various units of sounds in speech, including syllables, onsets, and rhymes (DeVries, 2021). While phonemic awareness falls under the umbrella of phonological awareness its emphasis is primarily on the manipulation of individual sounds or phonemes.
Part 1: Phonological and Phonemic Awareness Strategies Chart
Complete Part 1 of the “Phonological Awareness and Phonemic Template” by defining the importance of each phonological skill, identifying your state standards the skills align to, and identifying two strategies to support the teaching of each.
Part 2: Multisensory Integration
Complete Part 2 of the “Phonological Awareness and Phonemic Template” by choosing two skills from Part 1 and in 100-200 words describing how the instructional strategies include multisensory techniques or how they could be modified to include multisensory techniques. In addition, explain how multisensory techniques support the Science of Reading and discuss how implementing them into instruction supports students with exceptionalities, such as dyslexia.
Part 3: Technology Integration
Complete Part 3 of the “Phonological Awareness and Phonemic Template” by identifying and explaining in 100-150 words two technology tools that can be used to support and practice phonological awareness and phonemic awareness.
