Ready to Read Skill: Phonological Awareness (Sounds)
Phonological Awareness means being able to hear and play with the smaller sounds in words. Working on this skill will help your child sound out words when they start reading. Ways to improve phonological awareness include saying rhymes (like the ones in the books above) and emphasizing the rhyming words. Doing motions with the rhymes also helps your child break the words into smaller parts. Singing songs is another great way to work on this skill while having fun!
Rhymes
This is the Way We Wash Our Hands
(to the tune of Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush)
This is the way we wash our hands*,
Wash our hands, wash our hands.
This is the way we wash our hands
So early in the morning.
*Change the song to wash your hair, back, legs, feet, hands, etc. Have fun!
