Phonemic Awareness Download

For a limited time, you can download, absolutely free, our 30-page Phonemic Awareness supplement. The free download includes lessons on rhyme, syllable identification, oral segmentation, and oral blending, plus all new, phoneme manipulation and identification of words in sentences, activities, and assessments.

Current research indicates phonemic awareness is the strongest predictor of reading success, even at the high school level. Training in phoneme identification, manipulation, and substitution is essential for students to become successful readers.

The newly revised Discover Intensive Phonics elementary materials contain seven phonemic awareness lessons for both the student software and teacher direct instruction material. The software also includes a complete student assessment of phoneme awareness, incorporating many concepts from the DIBELS assessment published by the University of Oregon.

The new Phonemic Awareness activities preface Lesson 1 in the Teacher's Manual and Lesson 2 in the computer software and cover the following:

• Rhyming.
• Syllable identification and manipulation.
• Identification of initial, final, and medial phonemes.
• Placement, manipulation and substitution of initial, medial, and final phonemes in single-syllable words.
• Identification of individual words within a sentence.

In addition to a comprehensive glossary of terminologies, the material includes many ideas for phoneme manipulations, such as: phoneme elimination, blending, sound isolation, phoneme sequencing, phoneme count, phoneme deletion, syllable deletion, and sound-to-word matches.
