What is Phonological Awareness?
Phonological awareness is the ability to recognize and manipulate the individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken language. This skill involves being able to recognize and distinguish between sounds, identify syllables in words, blend sounds to form words, and segment words into their individual sounds.
Why is it important?
Phonological awareness is important because it lays the foundation for reading and spelling. Research has shown that children who have strong phonological awareness skills are more likely to become successful readers and spellers.
