  • Summary

  • Phonological awareness is the ability to hear and manipulate UNITS of sounds (syllables, onset, rime, phonemes) in spoken language. Phonemic awareness is the ability to hear and manipulate the smallest unit of sounds and is one skill under the umbrella of phonological awareness. Dr. David Kilpatrick believes phonological awareness to be the single most important factor in differentiating struggling readers from successful ones. Today's episode explores phonological awareness development.
