Abstract: | Phonemic awareness is the first step in any child's journey to literacy, and more than 25% of all children don't master it by third grade. Specifically targeting phonemic awareness, this program helps young children learn to distinguish the individual sounds that make up words and affect their meanings. With the unique screening method that accommodates up to 15 children at a time, educators can gauge the general skill level of the class and identify children who may need additional testing. Adapted from the Lundberg Swedish Curriculum, this book is a supplemental, whole-class curriculum for improving pre-literacy listening skills. Preschool, kindergarten, and first-grade teachers can use these engaging activities in any classroom - general, bilingual, inclusive, or special education. And all children benefit, because the curriculum accommodates individualized learning and teaching styles. |
