Description: Phonemic awareness is the first step in any child's journey to literacy, and more than 25% of all children don't master it by third grade. Specifically targeting phonemic awareness, this program helps young children learn to distinguish the individual sounds that make up words and affect their meanings. With the unique screening method that accommodates up to 15 children at a time, educators can gauge the general skill level of the class and identify children who may need additional testing. And teachers can choose from a range of activities to use with the whole class-from simple listening games to more advanced sound manipulation exercises such as rhyming, alliteration, and segmentation.
It has everything teachers need:
teaching objectives lesson plans and sample scripts activity adaptations troubleshooting guidelines suggested kindergarten and first-grade schedules an appendix of advanced language games informal, large group screening tests guidelines for interpreting screening test results recommendations for further assessment
The perfect complement to any school's language curriculum, this program takes only 15-20 minutes a day.
Review Summary: An excellent book for kindergarten teachers!

Details: This book was recommended to me by my sister (also a k teacher), and I used these phonemic awareness activities during the last school year -- not only did the activities help my whole class overall, but they also helped me identify which kids were struggling and needed more help. And they were fun for the kids, too, which made teaching it so much easier. My school has been buzzing about phonemic awareness and phonological awareness for a couple of years now, but we haven't had a good way to actually teach it directly until we used these activities. I highly recommend this book!
Review Summary: Everything the classroom teachers need to know and do!

Details: Excellent source of developmentally appropriate activities to make phonemic awareness fun. It has activities laid out for each separate area. It should be in the hands of all preK, K and grade 1 teachers, reading teachers, and special educators at even higher levels. A treasure!
