Phonological awareness is
An overarching skill that includes identifying and manipulating units of oral language including parts of words syllables onsets and rimes
2 important sub skills of phonological awareness
Phonemic awareness and
Phonics/graphophonic
Phonemic awareness is
Understanding the individual sounds in words
Phonics is
Understanding the relationship between sounds and the spelling patterns representing those sounds
Why is it important for teachers to focus on students’ phonological awareness during emergent reading development?
Understanding how the smallest unit in words function is necessary for spelling and reading development
Which Focuses on phonemes:

Phonics
Examples of inflected forms
-s, -es, -ed, -ing, -ly
Examples of consonant blends
Bl, gr, sp
Examples of consonant digraphs
Sh, th, ch
Examples of Vowel pairs
Oo, ew, oi, oy
Blending is
Putting all the sounds in the words together in /p/a/t/ vs /pat/
Onsets are
Beginning consonant and consonant cluster
The six main levels of phonemic awareness are
Phonemic isolation, blending, segmenting, addition, deletion, and substitution
Phonemic isolation is
When students here and separate out individual sounds in words
Blending is
When students can combine sounds in a word: /c/a/t/ becomes cat
Segmenting is
When students can divide the word into individual sounds. Also count/identify how many sounds in a word: three sounds in mat
Addition is
When students can manipulate a word by adding a sound that is not originally in the word: start with the word pay and add /l/ sound after the/p/to make the word play
