Phonemic Awareness
Create a phonemic awareness activity for struggling readers. This should include phoneme manipulation
This resource focuses on developing phonemic awareness in students by exploring the manipulation of sounds within words through three main activities: deletion, substitution, and addition. It begins with teaching what a phoneme is and provides examples of how removing sounds alters words. The document includes guided practice exercises to help students grasp the concept interactively, followed by opportunities for independent practice. Additionally, it challenges students to add sounds, further enhancing their understanding of phonemic manipulation. The resource is structured to support educators in evaluating student understanding via a self-assessment checklist, ensuring that students can successfully identify and manipulate phonemes in various ways.
