Phonemic awareness is so important and it's all about breaking down the SOUNDS in the spoken word. No letters. No words. Just sounds.

This skill connects so much to learning to spell, and spelling is one of the ways we can tell where a child is with phonemic or phonological awareness.  Enjoy this stage of childhood!

Is your reader at the very first stages? How to Teach Your Grownup to Read is a picture book you can read with your child where you'll BOTH get comfortable with 5 important reading skills: 1 to 1 correspondence, self-monitoring, searching for clues, looking at the picture, and familiar reading. Better than a handout and something I wish I could have given my students when I was a 1st grade teacher. Just snuggle up and read together with the BEST illustrations by James Koenig!
