Phonemic awareness is the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate individual sounds-phonemes--in spoken words. It is important because: It improves students' word reading and comprehension. It helps students learn to spell. If you notice your child struggles with spelling, here are a few suggestions to practice at home: 1. Identify a sound, practice rhyming words 2. Practice breaking the word apart into syllables 3. Use scrabble tiles/Scrabble slam to creat words/letter patterns
