Heggerty Phonics Curriculum
WHat is Phonemic awareness?
Phonemic awareness is the ability to identify individual sounds in spoken words. These individual sounds are also known as phonemes. The acquisition of phonemic awareness is a great predictor of a student's reading success. Some examples include blending sounds into words, segmenting words into sounds, and manipulating the sounds in spoken words.
What is phonological awareness?
Phonological awareness is the ability to identify and manipulate the spoken parts of sentences and words. Some examples of phonological awareness include the ability to identify rhyming words, recognizing alliteration, segmenting a sentence into words, identifying the syllables in a word, and blending and segmenting onset-rimes.
