Product 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.
