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, singing songs and emphasizing the rhyming words in books. Doing motions with the rhymes also helps your child break the words into smaller parts, like we did with Zoom Zoom Zoom. Singing songs is another great way to work on this skill while having fun!
