Phonemic awareness is taught over a long period of time. Students can learn through language play and focusing on he sounds in spoken words. The video showed a variety of strategies that could be used to help teach phonemic awareness within a classroom. The video should students working with small words endings to enhance their knowledge of phonemic awareness. It's important to teach phonemic awareness early for students to become successful readers in upper grade levels.
Example of Phenomic Segmentation Awareness
The video showed a teacher administering an assessment to an early literacy learner using blocks. The teacher told the student how the assessment would work by demonstrating what she wanted to do by using the word "sit." The student must pull a block from the pile for each sound she hears within the given word. The words started out simple and got harder as the assessment went on. The student may not have known how to spell these words Or pronounce them if she saw them within a text, but she is able to hear the sounds, which is what then assessment is trying to determine. When the student works on the word "shop" she understands the assignment fully when she realizes the -sh makes one sound. The video is an excellent example of performing the assessment, especially since it includes the use of blocks. It's an added benefit for kinesthetic learners.
