Phonemic Awareness:Why It Matters
Phonemic Awareness:
The Report of the National Reading Panel defines phonemic awareness as “the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate individual sounds—
phonemes—in spoken words.” An understanding of phonemic awareness may allow children to read words rapidly, spell words, and focus on
meaning. Phonemic awareness instruction has been shown to have a positive impact on children of diverse ability and grade levels.
Before children can focus on print, they need to understand that spoken words are made up of phonemes. Distinguishing individual phonemes in a spoken or printed word is a challenge for beginning readers, since the phonemes are blended together.
A key finding by the panel is that phonemic awareness can be taught and learned.
Best Practices:
Effective phonemic awareness instruction
■ includes assessing children before instruction begins to determine their needs
■ teaches children to isolate, identify,categorize, blend, segment, delete,add, or substitute phonemes
■ focuses on the skills of blending and segmenting
■ teaches children to manipulate phonemes by using letters
■ extends for no more than 20 hours over the course of the school year
■ is one component of a comprehensive and effective reading program
