the Difference?

Welcome!
• Let’s jump in with an activity we can use in any EEC setting!
• We will introduce ourselves by saying our names, followed by a food we like that starts with the same sound.
• I’ll start!
My name is Ariel and I like…
Background
• Current first grade teacher at Robert L. Ford Elementary in Lynn, MA
• Current adjunct professor of literacy at Salem State University
• B.S. Education, M.Ed. Reading (SSU)
LET’S GET STARTED!
PHON = “sound”
• The Greek root “phon” means sound.
– Phonological awareness is the ability to hear and manipulate sounds in spoken language
– Includes, but is not limited to skills like:
• Rhyming
• Onset/rime
• Beginning sound awareness
Phonological Awareness Skills
• Rhyming
– When two words sound the same at the end
Can you think of any other words that rhyme?
Phonological Awareness Skills
• Onset/rime
– Onset is everything before the first vowel in a word
– Rime is the vowel and everything after

**note: You would not use letters with little ones! I’m doing it since you’re adults
Phonological Awareness Skills
• Beginning Sound Awareness
– Ability to tell if two words start with the same sound
Can you think of any other words that start with the same sound?
PHON = “sound”, EME= “smallest unit of”
• The Greek root “phon” means sound.
– Phonemic awareness is the ability to hear and manipulate single sounds in spoken language
– Includes the following skills:
• segmenting
• blending
• deleting
• substituting
Phonemic Awareness Skills
• Segmenting
– Separating all of the sounds in a word
Can you segment the sounds in the word fish?
Phonemic Awareness Skills
• Blending
– Putting singular sounds together to make a word
Can you blend these sounds together? /s/ /i/ /k/
Phonemic Awareness Skills
• Deleting
– Removing one sound in a word to make a new word
Say “gone”. Take away /g/. What’s your new word?
- /p/
Phonemic Awareness Skills
• Substituting
– Changing one sound in a word to a different sound to make a new word
Say “cake”. Change /c/ to /b/. What’s your new word?
- /p/ + /w/
Why Do We Teach It?
• Let’s discuss!
– Why are phonological awareness/phonemic awareness skills important?
– How can we support phonological/phonemic awareness development?
Reciprocal Relationships Phonemic
Awareness Phonics
Blending
Reading. Sounding out an unknown word and blending the sounds together.
Segmenting Writing. Sounding out an unknown word and writing a letter for each sound.
Deleting Helps manipulate sounds.
Substituting “Switch the vowel.” A child reads pine as /pin/, sees the e, recognizes it is silent, then switches the vowel to the long sound.
By supporting phonological/phonemic awareness, you’re setting the foundation for reading!
How do we support children?
Tongue Twisters
Nursery Rhymes
Poems
Songs
Games
Let’s Make Some Games!
