Big Ideas: The big idea in this lesson is to be able to understand phonological awareness. If the students are able to master phonological awareness, then this will help them with reading, fluency and comprehension. If students do not understand phonological awareness, then phonics will make little sense to them. b. Key Concepts: The key concept of this lesson is to be able to identify and say the initial sound of a word…

The first element of the reading process is phonological awareness, which is an auditory skill that requires children to analyses the sound of language into component sounds, before they begin the process of reading at the printed level (Matheson, 2005, p.22; Scull & Raban, 2016, p.153). For example, producing and identifying rhymes (such as how ‘mat’ rhymes with ‘sat’), isolating and segmenting letters and syllables (such as ‘n’ from ‘nose’), blending syllables, and exchanging sounds to make…

Phonemic Awareness is the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate individual sounds-phonemes in spoken words. Before children learn to read, they should become aware of sounds. They should understand speech from sounds, or phonemes (the smallest part of sound in a spoken word). Phonemic Awareness improves students' reading comprehension and allows young readers to build another important element of reading. There are three main elements of phonemic awareness: syllables, rhymes , and…

2. d/Deaf and Hard of Hearing Learners The growing body of research has provided better understanding of the benefits of Visual Phonics. Studies have indicated that Visual Phonics is a favorable educational tool to teach phonemic awareness, letter-sound relationship, and speech production (Beal-Alvarez et al., 2011; Guardino, Syverud, Joyner, Nicols, & King, 2011; Narr, 2008; Syverud et al., 2009; Trezek et al., 2007). The focal point of studies on Visual Phonics is younger students such as…

knowledge of the six main elements involved in the reading process. It is fundamental for teachers to prepare their students to gain meaning from what they have read.
