Why is it critical to reading success?
Phonemic awareness is a skill to decode. A subset of phonological awareness, phonemic awareness is an essential skill to develop before sounding out words in print. When learning to read, children first learn to identify sounds heard in words before they can blend sounds in print to decode (sound out) words. Phonological awareness includes skills such as rhyming and identifying syllables in words which contribute to the development of hearing sounds in words.
