Phonological Awareness is the ability to detect, identify, and manipulate sounds and syllables in words.
Phonological Awareness skills are CRUCIAL predictors of a child’s reading success.
Children with hearing loss CAN develop phonological skills through listening.
- RHYMES
- Determine whether a pair of words rhyme
- “Do these words rhyme: hat, bat?”
- Determine which word in a set of three does not rhyme
- “Which one does not rhyme: bee, see, boat?”
- Generate a rhyme
- “Can you tell me a word that rhymes with ball?”
- Determine whether a pair of words rhyme
- SYLLABLES
- Counting syllables
- “How many syllables do you hear in the word paper?”
- Segmenting syllables
- “Can you tell me the syllables in telephone?”
- Blending syllables
- “Which word sounds like this: to ma to?”
- Deleting syllables
- “Can you say piano without the /pi/?”
- Counting syllables
- PHONEMES (Speech Sounds)
- Initial/medial/final sound identification
- “What is the first/middle/last sound in the word bed?”
- Counting phonemes

- Phoneme blending
- “Which word sounds like this: g r ee n?”
- Phoneme deletion
- “Say blue without the /b/?”
