Phonological Awareness
Building the foundation for reading and clear speech
Phonological awareness is the ability to recognize and work with the sounds that make up words. While some children naturally develop these skills, others need direct teaching and practice.
Phonological awareness includes skills such as:
Recognizing and producing rhyming words
Breaking words into syllables and sounds
Adding, deleting, or changing sounds to make new words
These skills are essential for learning to read, spell, and clearly sequence sounds for effective communication.
We support children by using fun, structured activities that strengthen these foundational skills and support academic success.
