Phonemic Awareness: What, Why, and How?

Description:

This Knowledge Block will help untangle a bunch of “ph” terms associated with the Science of Reading and clarify the role of phonemic awareness in skilled reading. Participants will learn how to assess phonemic awareness and learn planning strategies and instructional approaches that can be used to teach phonemic awareness in face-to-face and virtual settings.

Who should take this Knowledge Block:

  • K-5 educators
  • Secondary educators who work with long-term developing readers

What you will learn:

  • K-5 educators
