Content :

Phonemic awareness is all about the sounds of letters in words. It is a pre-reading skill that children in this class should develop for efficient reading.

Phonemic awareness is the ability of the children to notice, think about and work with the individual sounds in words. The children’s skill in phonemic awareness is a good predictor of reading success or otherwise.

In this lesson, we are looking at sound blending, segmentation and manipulation. All of these will help the children in decoding the relationship between sounds and letters.

In the previous term, they sounded two letter words. They should be conversant with that.

Now, they will sound each of the letters that make up a three letter word and try to blend the sounds to make up a word.

Examples:

Cat——- to sound it: /c/ /a/ /t/ after they sound it, you say, blend ( blend means to join

all the sounds together.) when blending, ask the children to say each sound faster, the faster they say the sounds, the more the correct word will come out.

Dog—— to sound it: /d//o//g/. Blend it the same way they blended cat.

If you do this consistently for one week, every child that can identify letter names and sounds in the class will be able to sound even five letter words.

Try these words———- mat, bat, bit, bet, nap etc.
