Phonemic awareness is the ability to identify and manipulate individual sounds (phonemes) into spoken words and it is important because it requires readers to notice how letters represent sounds and gives readers a way to approach sounding out and reading new words.

If the student does poorly on an assessment covering syllables in words, then you should use the Syllable Hopscotch activity.
For this activity, students will segment the syllables in a word and hop to the corresponding number by:
First, place the cards face down in a stack. Arrange the hopscotch board on the floor.
Then, taking turns, student one selects the top card, names the picture, segments it into syllables, and counts the number of syllables (e.g., “hamburger...ham-bur-ger...three syllables”).
Next, student two repeats the segments and hops to the corresponding number.
Then, reverse roles and continue until all picture cards are used.
Lastly, students will have a peer evaluation
If the student does poorly on an assessment covering phoneme segmentation, then you should use the Say and Slide Phonemes strategy.
For this strategy, students will orally segment words using counters and elkonin boxes by:
First, place the picture cards face up in a stack. Place the chips on a flat surface.
Then, working in pairs, student one selects the top card, names the picture, and orally segments the sounds (e.g., “cheese, /ch/ /ē/ /z/”).
Next, student two repeats the sounds while moving a chip into each box, then says the word quickly.
Then, reverse roles and continue until all pictures are named and segmented.
Lastly, students will have a peer evaluation
