• Kindergarten Phonological Awareness

    In years past  I was going into Pre-K classes and teaching Phonological Awareness lessons as well as some select Kindergarten classrooms who needed help in that area.  This was a great experience for the children and their teachers to really focus on these pre-literacy skills.
     
    Rhyming Words
    • Do these words rhyme: Mop/hop (Yes) Cat/Car (No)
    • Which word does not rhyme: Mop, Map, Rap
    • Name 2 words that rhyme with Sit...Pit, Hit.
    Identifying Sounds
    • What is the first sound in the word "Bug?"  /b/
    • What is the last sound in the word "Bug?"  /g/
    • What is the middle sound in the word "Bug?" /u/
    Blending Sounds
    • What word do these sounds make? m-a-ke..."make"
    • What word do these sounds make? m-u-dd-y..."muddy."
    Segmenting Words
    • Tell me all the sounds in the word "chip" ch-i-p.
    • Tell me all the sounds in the word "happy" h-a-pp-y
    Adding Sounds
    • If you say the word "oat" and add /b/ to the beginning of the word, what word do you have? "Boat."
    • If you say the word "pass" and add a /t/ to the end of the word, what word do you have? "Past."
    Deleting Sounds
    • Say the word "clock" now say it with out the /k/ at the beginning..."lock."
    • Say the word "cart" now say it without the /t/ at the end..."car."

    Be sure the child tells you sounds and not letters.  This is an auditory task.
