Why is Phonemic Awareness so Important?

Phonemic awareness refers to the ability to identify, manipulate, and work with individual phonemes—the smallest units of sound in a language.

Participating in phonemic awareness activities, students can decode words, spell, and comprehend text.

How do you incorporate phonemic awareness into your daily activities?

I have used Michael Heggerty to help teach phonemic awareness. I also like to show videos on youtube. I really like Alphablocks on youtube because they sound out words.
