Phonological awareness is the ability to notice or manipulate sounds in speech. Developing phonological skills such as breaking down spoken speech into words, syllables, and phonemes is an important stepping stone to eventually learning to read. So, working on syllable awareness and syllable segmentation is an essential literacy activity for kids.

"Experiences in the first three years of life have a strong impact on brain development and learning. They are the foundation for healthy development and strong child outcomes in the preschool years and beyond. In the Standards, developmental progress in key learning areas for infants and toddlers is presented in three age groups: birth to 9 months, 8 to 18 months, and 16 to 36 months. These age groups reflect common shifts or transitions in development. The overlapping months recognize that infants and toddlers grow and develop at different rates. The standards also provide specific skills, behaviors, and concepts that children should demonstrate by 36 months."
