What is phonemic awareness? Is it the same as phonological awareness?</span></b></p><p><span style="font-family: Special Elite; font-size: medium;">The answer? Phonemic awareness is under the umbrella of phonological awareness. Phonological awareness is the ability to recognize and manipulate the spoken parts of words, Phonemic awareness is the ability to manipulate the sounds or phonemes in a spoken word.</span></p><p><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Special Elite; font-size: medium;">Learning to read starts with phonemic awareness. Phonemic awareness simply is listening to, producing and playing with sounds… If you are old like me, you may have developed most of your phonemic awareness skills from your parents singing nursery rhymes to you or by watching Sesame Street. I know my own kids developed a LOT of phonemic awareness from Blue’s Clues. </span></span></p><span id="docs-internal-guid-47d578b0-7fff-8b28-d591-2b60cd7ec1df"><span style="font-family: Special Elite; font-size: medium;"><b>Where do I start teaching phonological awareness? </b></span></span><div><span><span style="font-family: Special Elite; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Special Elite; font-size: medium;">Rhyming is usually the first skill that a child develops. They learn rhyming by hearing rhyming is books and songs. They start to hear that some words sound the same at the end.

Decide if you will use the editable or printable product. Purchase a gift card for your child. Take the 16 digit code on the card and copy it onto the egg cards. Cut up the egg cards and hide the cards in plastic eggs. Leave the recording sheet out for your child to use. After they find the eggs, they will match and record the code onto the recording sheet. After all the digits are full, they will have the code they can use to purchase what they want! I guarantee it will be a HIT!!!

For many children, learning to read comes naturally, but for some, it can be a challenging journey. Struggling readers often face difficulties in reading fluency, which can impact their overall comprehension and enjoyment of literature.

This puts everyone in a game mindset.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Next, realize that everything can be a game!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>Start small.

Stick stickers on some flash cards. Flash the cards. The words the student read right they get to keep the card. At the end the student with the most cards with stickers on them WIN!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">OR have the students roll a die. Whatever number they get, that is how many word cards they have to read...you can do the same thing with a spinner.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">I also found that if I cut apart passages, into sentences it makes them less intimidating. You can use the spinner and dice idea for these too.

I tried to get them to understand that they needed to learn all six syllable types and all the spelling patterns in each and they will be able to read any word! </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">This gave them lots of motivation to master phonics skills.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">However I was noticing that they just were not understanding the syllable types with the CLOVER.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">One day I started sketching a flower to explain the vowel team syllable to my students. I was showing them how vowel team is a syllable type and there were lots of vowel teams to be learned. They got it!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">So I continued to make the Garden of Reading.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">This really helped my students understand. They could relate to the flowers and the concept of making your garden grow by adding flowers.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I think next year I will hang the bulletin board and give each student a copy of the student sheet for their readers notebook. As we master skills they can color in petals, until the garden is full.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Just a reminder that if students are not getting something you are teaching try something new. Something as simple as a new visual can really make a difference!</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7lgRBu4sY5dqmYC0MSKOtkVCt3dQER8RNzQj6fvezZ37ZIMYmQUt8LIklKpZGfGo0GVx-htlW7NWek0OJUvXOX0V-epwb9tGceQC7GHLCIissZfy0yG86yXKc8B-lL61b2iyw4tAANzEsigR55pVm1f17P9LadxRPNm3q96VrSTbTMJC27T842_D-/s480/IMG-7409.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7lgRBu4sY5dqmYC0MSKOtkVCt3dQER8RNzQj6fvezZ37ZIMYmQUt8LIklKpZGfGo0GVx-htlW7NWek0OJUvXOX0V-epwb9tGceQC7GHLCIissZfy0yG86yXKc8B-lL61b2iyw4tAANzEsigR55pVm1f17P9LadxRPNm3q96VrSTbTMJC27T842_D-/s320/IMG-7409.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/A-Simple-Way-to-Explain-the-Six-Syllable-Types-to-Students-9665993"><span style="font-size: large;">You can get the flowers for the bulletin board, and I also have a student printable in my store.

By having just one sentence in front of them at at time it relieved a lot of stress.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">I then let them start taking turns with a friend. This alleviated even more stress and even turned reading practice into fun! </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><i>I highly recommend both these strategies for your classroom. Take any passage that you are working on and </i><b>CHOP CHOP</b><i> it up. </i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Special Elite; font-size: large;">***I've also added stickers to some of the sentences.

I've had groups of students that absolutely love this.***</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">While I still think it is very important for students to be reading books and passages sometimes they just need a little stepping stone.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">I honestly found the on task reading time to increase incredibly by doing this. I took this as a HUGE win, because that's the goal of independent reading time is to practice reading!</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Tag me on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/180daysofreading">Facebook </a>if you try this in your classroom.

Pick a simple scope and sequence of phonics skills to guide you. Start with the easiest skill and start practicing them with your students. Once they get good at that skill introduce a new skill.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Special Elite; font-size: large;"><b>It doesn't have to be a HUGE overhaul of everything you have done. </b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Special Elite; font-size: large;"><b>Start small.</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Here is a lesson plan format that I use to help keep me focused and on track. This is a REVIEW lesson. It is meant to provide spiral review and repeated practice of phonics skills. In a classroom it could look like MONDAY: Teach new phonics skill. TUESDAY-FRIDAY warm up with the new phonics skill taught then do this lesson to review all skills. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Bowlby One; font-size: large;"> SAMPLE SCIENCE OF READING BASED LESSON FORMAT</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Special Elite; font-size: large;"><b>1. Warm up with alphabet/phonemic awareness</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Practice missing letter decks, alphabet order, and/or phonemic awareness. I like to warm up with a phonemic awareness activity that matches my focus skill for the lesson. For example if we are going to be working on CVC words. I would warm up with orally blending and segmenting CVC words. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Special Elite; font-size: large;"><b>2. Read Sounds</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">You should keep a stack of cards of all the sounds you have already taught the students. Flash these to the students flash card style. They will be looking at a card with a letter or group of letters on them and saying the sound they make. </span><span style="font-family: Special Elite;"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Special Elite; font-size: large;"><b>3. Blending Drill</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">This is the part of the lesson that often I see skipped. However it is the MOST important for students to do. Use the sound cards you just read and build words with them. It is important for students to see mulitple combinations to review the sounds with connecting to text. Use real and nonsense words to further solidify skills.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Special Elite; font-size: large;"><b>4. Read Words/ RAN (Rapid Automatic Naming)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">This can be a stack of word cards or a list of words that the student reads. There should be words included with all of the phonics skills previously taught, or at least the last 8-10 skills if many skills have been taught already.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Special Elite; font-size: large;"><b>5. Spell Sounds</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Not only is it important to have students reading everyday, but it is important to have them writing. Writing helps build connections in the brain and to make learning permanent. In this part you will say "write the letter or letters that makes the sound _____" Students will say the sound and then say the letters as they write them. For example.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Teacher: "Write the letters that make the sound /sh/<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Students: "/sh/" "s.....h" </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Practice 8-10 sounds that have already been taught.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Special Elite; font-size: large;"><b>6. Spell Words</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Similar to above but with words. Teacher says "write the word _____________" Students write the word. I like to have them say the letters out loud as they write them. Again 8-10 words using previously taught spelling rules.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Special Elite; font-size: large;"><b>7. Spell Sentences</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Dictate 2-4 sentences to the students and have them write them. Make sure that the sentences only have skills previously taught in them.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Special Elite; font-size: large;"><b>Last as always have students read. This could be a passage or book. They need to be practicing their skills in "real life" in order for them to stick!</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Special Elite; font-size: large;">I hope this helps someone!

The kids are broken in, most of the core material has been taught, and it's time to review and have some fun!</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Special Elite;"><i>I teach systematic stuctured literacy lessons to students in small groups. I find that eventhough the groups are small each student still has individual needs. I usually find that there is a heart/trick/high frequency word that they are strugging to master or phonics skill that they need some more practice on.</i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Special Elite;">The best way I have found to solidify skills that students are struggling with is to make it multisensory! My favorites are dough, shaving cream, and watercolors. If you have never used watercolors in the classroom please give it a try! They are inexpensive, the clean up is simple and students LOVE to use them. It is a great way to spice up illustrating a story or doing a retell, but I use it mostly to watercolor words. They can rainbow paint them on any paper, or I like to use these <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Heart-Word-Review-for-End-of-Year-or-Summer-School--3955743" target="_blank">worksheets</a> that I made. </span></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/180-Days-Of-Reading/Category/-BUNDLE-SAVINGS-204038" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhehzIcUlkawq5KT-CE-k_8A4dix0FeJrPMPFbeJOERQ1BHhCq4H1SBlZ0ByFbRD24FUI8QPkjjzf9Cp7B7-RB8WHJ9Yn_2SthiKFAAq65snGHz9rHztpxtVA6R7nA0NgjeNOwOdgYtoeRgcrhmIXak5c63Tx2O-4pboBzvQSwtdEAb9upcaYxoyhGh/w400-h400/3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Special Elite; font-size: large;">The workseets have nine skills for each word which includes a simple search and find.</span></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Original Surfer;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Heart-Word-Review-for-End-of-Year-or-Summer-School--3955743" target="_blank">CLICK HERE IF YOU WANT TO LEARN MORE</a></span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/180-Days-Of-Reading/Category/-BUNDLE-SAVINGS-204038" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpbDKTTu7GOY4uCycIbBSAtX75o9VFJ6WfxBDFhcdoRTXcVnSSX2waCskksyxREzvGRCAzrIqU7CF0M7BF1YBtSuiJo3zSCQ4ugrdK75C21qle3y4VWYQXQYKjOhwX6EbXDXUxKz9DFfDw5BiK-oIm3bkCWe-p2PaCtoIlJk8VjyYQ-P7Bcivkv1CU/s320/2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Special Elite; font-size: large;">Shaving cream is SOOOO fun for practicing words!

It is always bittersweet for me.<br />
I LOVE being home and I LOVE summer,<br />
but I also LOVE helping students read.<br />
<br />
As the new year approaches, with anticipation, excitement, and new ideas, I though I would share some free resources for you to use in your classroom this year. New ideas always bring me new found motivation and excitement. How about you?<br />
<br />
Download and print whatever calls to you, and get ready for those smiling faces!<br />
If you find something you like, share this post with a friend, or on social media so others can find it too! Don't forget to leave me some love in the form of feedback on each download. :)</span><br />

Figure out how you want to set up your centers for next year.<br />
Decide if there are any routines that you want to change.<br />
Why?<br />
Because this group is already broken in.<br />
They know you and your expectations.<br />
Take this time to practice new ideas for next year.<br />
<br />
Here are lots of freebies from my store that you might want to try out.<br />
See if they will work with your reading program,<br />
and if you can fit them into your daily routine.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

They cover a wide range of phonics skill so that they can easily be differentiated. Use them as a review. Students love to play them in small groups. Have a game afternoon, or morning, or week, or month...</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Special Elite;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Special Elite;">These are also perfect to leave for a sub when you take that day off to do your holiday shopping.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Special Elite;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Special Elite;">Did you make it to break without a hitch? Go you! These are also perfect to use in January when it starts to drag on or when you are doing all of those mid-year assessments students can be practicing their skills.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Special Elite;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Special Elite;">Is your school throwing the term Science of Reading around like confetti?</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Special Elite;">Well these were made with that in mind, before it was cool. Each activity focuses on a specific phonics skill: some included are capital letters, cvc, silent e, diphthongs, plural s, diagraphs, and vowel teams.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Special Elite;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Special Elite;">One last perfect thing. Since each activity focuses on just one phonics skill so they are easily compatible with any phonics program!</span></div><div>

But, you cannot find it anywhere, no matter how you search?<br />
This annoys me to no end.<br />
I came up with this solution to help you find something that I shared.<br />
I have so many things that I love. <br />
This page is where I can share them with you!<br />
You probably got here from a link on Facebook or Pinterest looking for a product I talked about or shared. Just find the picture that brought you here, click on it, and it will take you to Amazon where you can purchase it.<br />
<br />
***Full disclosure here. Yes, these are affiliate links. Yes, I get some change if you click and purchase from my links. What do I use this money for? It helps support my education material, laminating pouch, and book addiction. So I thank you! ***<br />

<br />
YAY! <br />
You must have clicked to read this for one of two reasons.<br />
1. You think phonemic awareness is super fun too!<br />
2. You really hate teaching phonemic awareness and want to see why I think it is fun.<br />
<br />
Whatever reason you are here I am so glad that you are!!! <br />
<br />
I used to hate teaching phonemic awareness, but I kept at it, and now it is one of my favorite things to teach! <br />
<br />
Today we are going to focus mainly on segmenting.<br />
<br />
Segmenting in general is a huge skill. It needs to be taught in many different steps. Here is how I like to teach segmenting.<br />
<br />
1. Segmenting Syllables (<a href="http://180daysofreading.blogspot.com/2016/08/i-used-to-hate-teaching-syllables.html?q=syllables">read my post about this here</a>)<br />
<br />
2. Segment off the First Sound <br />
<br />
This game is the easiest way that I have found to teach first sound. Plus they LOVE it. Roll the <a href="http://amzn.to/2stefkw">ball</a> to them, say a word, they have to say the first sound, and then roll the<a href="http://amzn.to/2stefkw"> ball </a>back. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://amzn.to/2stefkw"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJQ6MeMsRgFE2zCrec6ni-H6heyT976MwLOvFItwLsQyZ_x5Y9T4OMwvygmKIpz1y6st59iD-K6Lxorx2w728fBSFKvc7YSj4DrJfKVP_2pGBH5JhvZOza_pOROwdcU7MzuA9Je8ePJ88/s320/IMG_4559.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
3. Segment off the Ending Sound. This just takes a ton of practice for a lot of kids to get. I use the ball game above (but use a different ball to help their brain switch from beginning to ending sounds.) I also really like to start using the Chipper Chat here because they need a lot of practice. <br />
<br />
4. Segmenting out the Middle Sound. If you thought ending sounds took forever then strap in. This can be so hard for struggling readers. Again repeated practice it the key.<br />
<br />
5. Segment Onset-Rime<br />
Onset-Rhyme is when you segment off the first sound in the word, and then say the rest of the word. I have found using just these card stock cards for this activity work really well. Say the first sound and point to the first card and then say the rest of the word.<br />

6. Segment two sound words. Students segment all the sounds in the word. I start with short two sound words to do this. Such as go, me, hi, my, etc.<br />
<br />
7. Segment three sounds in words. This is where we get down to the nitty gritty to get them reading. They need to be able to segment and blend sounds orally before they will be able to do it in print. <br />
<br />
This <a href="http://amzn.to/2sEsLVy">foam chopper</a> works perfect. They "<a href="http://amzn.to/2sEsLVy">chop</a>" out all the sounds in the word.<br />

<br />
<br />
8. Segmenting four sounds and BEYOND! Make sure you are mixing in short vowels long vowels, etc. I see students really hit a wall with beginning and ending blends. SO lots of repeated practice and tons of different activities are important at this level. <br />

Remember to warm up with segmenting daily. Usually before we start reading words I will give them some of the words orally for them to segment before we start. </div>

Phonemic Awareness...</div>
oh how I have struggled over the years...<br />
I know it is important,<br />
I've heard that it is easy to do,<br />
I know that just 5 minutes a day can make a huge impact,<br />
but...<br />
<br />
I get all the why's...but I struggle with the who, the what, and the when!<br />
<br />
I did find if I make sure I start my day with phonemic awareness or pair it with another habit that we do (like lining up for lunch) then I get it in so much more consonantly.<br />
<br />
While this is still a major focus of mine to improve on, I do have some products I would like to share with you that have really helped me out over the years! Yes, these are affiliate links, no I don't get enough money to go on my dream vacation to Hawaii if you click on them, but I do get to buy a new book now and then, so thank-you!<br />
<br />
1. This book is awesome. When I taught Kindergarten I used it everyday. It has phonemic awareness sheets that match your favorite read alouds. I would read the story then do the sound matching sheet that matched the story, we would pair it with snack time and use cereal as markers, then eat them afterward. It was seriously the best part of my day, and those students could ROCK their phonemic awareness! <br />

2. The person that made the Chipper Chat just gets kids. The word lists in this book are a teacher's dream and the game is a student's dream come true. Which of your students would not love to use magnetic chips and a magnetic wand? I loved to use this in my small group lessons as a warm up. It took me awhile to figure out how to match activities to students and how to progress through the book, but the ease and fun makes this a number 1 in my book.<br />

Those are my top TWO favorite phonemic awareness resources. I found as long as I am consistently doing phonemic awareness everyday, I get good results. So at the very least just start doing it, even if it's not a perfect plan. Start playing with sounds with your students. When they line up, before you read a story, at snack time, whenever you can fit it in, just do it. Below are some other books that I have on my shelf that I pull from time to time. </div>
