The website linked above provides an in-depth phonemic awareness curriculum. The curriculum includes 110 games/activities, in an order specific to research-supported and classroom-proven to lead to successful reading.
Written by D. Ray Reutzel for The Reading Teacher in 2015, the article above provides research based insights on helping children acquire phonemic level skills specifically through different alphabet learning orders. The article provides other relevant early literacy tips and information as well to help teachers develop early foundational skills for early readers and writers.
Phonemes are the smallest single unit of language and are the basis of phonemic awareness, especially vowel phonemes as they appear in every word and often are the determining factor in the way a word is pronounced. The article segment provides overview, distinction, and tips in helping establish pronunciation of both vowel and consonant phonemes, skills and concepts teachers must explicitly teach their students.
The website link above provides parents/educators with phonemic level activities at varying levels from the most basic to increasingly advancing in skill. The activities contain objectives and materials for each so that they can be used outside the classroom as well. Listening skills, awareness of syllables, initial and final sounds, and phonemes are all addressed by the lessons provided here.
A teacher for over 15 years, has created a space for teachers/parents to find creative instructional methods for primary literacy development. She provides 6 phonemic awareness videos, 7 for syllables, and11 for later blending of words, all of which are easy to understand as a guide/resource.
