EDU 330 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Phonemic Awareness
Document Summary
The foundation for learning how to read. The ability to recognize and work with sounds in spoken language. A broad skill comprised of several smaller subsets. Children begin to read by listening to others read aloud, then recognizing sounds in words, sounding words out for themselves, recognizing familiar words, and so on. By engaging in word play, children learn to recognize patterns among words and use this knowledge to read and build words. Word awareness: helps children develop an ear for sounds. Rhyme - hearing rhyme requires attention to the ending sound in words (ex: pump, jump, lump) Alliteration - while alliteration requires attention to the beginning (peter piper picked a peck of pickled peppers) Syllable awareness: helps children begin to break language apart. Sentence segmentation breaking sentences into individual words (ricky went to the store = 5 words) Syllable segmentation breaking words apart into individual syllables (pat = /p/ /a/ /t/)
