Phonological Awareness

Phonemic Awareness is the most difficult skill for students to master in phonological awareness.

<ul><li>Rhyming</li></ul>	bat, cat, hat <ul><li>Alliteration</li></ul>	Bold, big, 	brown bear <ul><li>Sentence </li></ul>	Segmentation 	I/see/the/dog 	= 4 words

<ul><li>ba · by</li></ul>	= 2 syllables <ul><li>ex · er · cise</li></ul>	= 3 syllables

<ul><li>moon = 3 phonemes</li></ul>

The Science of Reading is the researched best-practices in explicitly teaching students how to read and write. This template gives some examples that can be created using Book Creator that align to the National Reading Panel's 5 Pillars of Effective Reading Instruction.

Our 5 Pillars series includes a book for each of the pillars, in which we share examples of ways that digital book creation can support each foundational skill. Through the use of multimedia, student tasks become living documents, and not just one-and-done activities. While these books are designed to provide ideas and examples, if you would like to make use of one of the examples in your classroom, Remix this book.

Teacher Tip Students listen to each word and image and create the compound word This activity can also be done with syllables using word chunks without the images. For example /bā/ + /bē/ = /baby/

The National Reading Panel identified 5 critical components, or pillars, that must be mastered in order to become fluent in literacy.

Effective literacy instruction draws not only on these five pillars but also must be accessible and motivating to students. Book Creator is the perfect tool to empower and engage students with activities designed to develop these five competencies.
