Phonological awareness can be considered as the ability to listen to sounds and sounds inside a word. It is the skill of having a sensitivity or explicit awareness of and ability to manipulate the sound structures within words.

Phonemic awareness  is the most complex or advanced part of a part of phonological awareness. It refers to a person’s knowledge of words at the level of individual sounds (phonemes). There are 44 phonemes in the English language. In this resource you will be introduced to them.

Phonemic awareness is the ability to hear, identify and manipulate individual sounds in spoken words. Children’s reading success is correlated with phonemic awareness ability. When children achieve phonemic awareness, they will be able to identify the first, final, and middle sounds in words. They will also be able to segment sounds (e.g. “cat” is made of the sounds c-a-t) and blend sounds (e.g. the sounds d-o-g make the word “dog”).

What is Phonics?   Phonics involves the relationship between sounds and written symbols understanding the sound-letter connection.  Phonological awareness and phonics skills are used together for successful reading and writing.
