Phonological Awareness: What does it look like for my students? The Literacy Link! Week of January 14th, 2013
Today’s Objectives • Structures of future PD sessions • Review what the research says about Phonemic Awareness • Review Phonemic Awareness Continuum – where are my students? • What does phonemic awareness look like in the core block and during intervention? • Using our resources • Plan for next session
What is Phonemic Awareness? • Phonemic Awareness: the understanding of individual sounds or phonemes. Undergirds early reading development and spelling development, supports development of alphabetic principle, letter sound-correspondence, and decoding
