Phonemic and Phonological Awareness

Phonological awareness skills are skills that are the underpinnings of reading. Students learn to listen to sounds in words so that they can manipulate them.

In grades Kindergarten, First, Second and Third, children enjoy a daily phonics lesson from Fundations. The program presents systematic, logically sequenced, and explicit instruction that provides meaningful opportunities for students to practice and then apply their knowledge of phonics to reading and writing.
