Phonemic awareness is an essential early literacy skill that underpins a child’s ability to read and spell and yet research demonstrates that without direct, explicit instruction in phonemic awareness it eludes many students (Adams, 1990). This presentation details the research supporting phonological and phonemic awareness and the theoretical frameworks that underpin it. The main emphasis of this presentation will be placed on how to teach phonemic awareness aligned to effective structured literacy practices. Assessments to inform instruction and intervention will also be offered. Participants will leave with comprehensive literacy resources to transfer knowledge to practice.
