What are Phonological Skills?
“Basic listening skills and "word awareness" are critical precursors to phonological awareness. Learn the milestones for acquiring phonological skills.” - See Table 1 & Table 2
What is Phonological Awareness vs. Phonemic Awareness?
“Phonological awareness is the ability to recognize and manipulate the spoken parts of sentences and words. Examples include being able to identify words that rhyme, recognizing alliteration, segmenting a sentence into words, identifying the syllables in a word, and blending and segmenting onset-rimes. The most sophisticated — and last to develop — is called phonemic awareness.
Phonemic awareness is the ability to notice, think about, and work with the individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken words. This includes blending sounds into words, segmenting words into sounds, and deleting and playing with the sounds in spoken words.”
Assessing Phonemic Awareness
***DCSD - Need to know. When iReady says “Tested Out” it means that the test did not assess in that subdomain. This is not well known or understood.
