Studies indicate that at least 25 percent of children do not make the connection between sounds and letters on their own. This lack of phonological awareness makes learning to read and spell difficult. Studies also show that students who receive direct instruction in phonological awareness are better able to learn early reading and spelling skills. That’s why we use The Phonological Awareness Kit.

This two-part approach to literacy combines phonological awareness instruction and phonetically-controlled reading and spelling activities. This combination ensures we’ve covered all the bases from hearing and identifying sounds in words to reading and writing words.

By using The Phonological Awareness Kit we get activities for direct instruction of this developmental hierarchy of phonological processing skills:

• rhyming
• segmenting sentences, words and syllables
• identifying sound placement in words
• blending sounds to make words

The curriculum we use is designed as a supplement to any regular classroom reading program. The goal of this The Phonological Awareness Kit is to help your child solve the phoneme/grapheme code of the English language, resulting in improved word attack and spelling skills.

This flexible program is great for individual therapy, small group instruction, or large group training. The interactive activities, picture cards, manipulatives, and home components make The Phonological Awareness Kit perfect for your child.
