Phonemic awareness is often confused with phonics.  Before phonics instruction begins, children must have the phonemic awareness skills they need in order to perceive individual sounds in words.  Phonics involves the relationship between sounds and written symbols, whereas phonemic awareness involves sounds in spoken words.  Therefore, phonics instruction focuses on teaching sound spelling relationships and is associated with print.  Most phonemic awareness tasks are oral.
Teaching children phonemic awareness, at a young age, is extremely important in early literacy.  It is essential to both the reading and writing process!  Phonemic awareness requires readers to notice how letters represent sounds.  It primes readers for print.  It gives readers a way to approach sounding out and reading new words.  Phonemic awareness helps readers understand the alphabetic principle (that the letters in words are systematically represented by sounds).
Children, in the early stages of language development, sometimes have difficulty sequencing sounds.  It is essential, for the progression of reading, that children are able to hear sounds and patterns used to make up words.  It requires children to notice how letters represent sounds.  Phonemic awareness facilitates growth in printed word recognition. Even before a child learns to read, his/her level of phonemic awareness can help predict, with a high level of accuracy, whether he/she will be a good reader or a poor reader by the end of 3rd grade and beyond.
I received this set at an after school, Title I workshop for teachers.  I bound the pages together, with blue plastic "chicken rings", to construct an organized flip booklet.
The
booklet consists of 8 pages and measures 8.5" x 11"
.
Each page has a place for children to write their name at the top, the skill of "Phoneme Isolation/Identity" printed in the upper right-hand corner, a title in bold black text, and directions underneath the title.  Names of items are also printed, in light gray text, above or below each row of images.
This
booklet has exercises where children say the name of a picture with 2-5 phonemes and mark the square where a given sound is heard
.
Given sounds include short vowels, long vowels, initial consonants, final consonants, consonants that are part of initial blends, and consonants that are part of final blends.
This booklet
could be used with either an individual child or with a group of children
.
If used with a group, the pages would simply need to be removed from the rings.
This item
would make a wonderful addition to a kindergarten or 1st grade classroom to be used during Literacy Centers
!  It
would also be great to have in a household with young children
!  I am hoping to find it a good home.
