Reading Readiness is Phonics & Phonemic Awareness.
Phonemes are basic speech sounds represented by alphabetic letters. Phonemic awareness is understanding that words are sequences of phonemes and that sounds can be manipulated within spoken words. To teach phonemic awareness, children are shown that cat is composed of three sounds: /k/, /a/, /t/. Children learn to assemble phonemes into words and to break words into phonemes. Phonics is understanding that sounds and alphabetic letters are related. Phonics and phonemic awareness are essential pre-reading skills (CCSSO, 2010).
