Synopsis
Phonemic Awareness is a valuable resource that provides 34 week-long units, each focusing on a chant, poem, or language game. The lessons increase in difficulty, moving through the five levels of phonemic awareness and finally to letter-sound association.
Each lesson is labeled to indicate the phonemic awareness level being addressed. Information for the teacher describes the five levels and defines phonemic awareness.
The week-long units follow a consistent three-page structure:
* page 1: the illustrated rhyme or chant
* page 2: teaching ideas - a mini-lesson for every day of the week
* page 3: a reproducible or patterns to use with the activities
Also included:
* alphabet cards
* two-page student inventory to assess phonemic awareness level
* fun, instructive illustrations.
