“Phonological Awareness and Word Work

Chapter 3

Section 2 of the Book Study Comprehensive Literacy for All discusses Building a Foundation for Literacy. It is important to understand the difference between Alphabetic Knowledge and Phonological Awareness. This chapter discusses an instructional routine that address letter identification, letter sound identification, recognizing letters in the text, and producing letter forms. Explicit phonological awareness instruction includes segmenting words into syllables, teaching rhyme awareness, and teaching alliteration. Perhaps the most exciting part of this section is the practical embedded approach that includes books, puzzles, games, raps, poetry, etc.”
