10 Ways To Promote Phonological Awareness


Talk to your child. Hearing words that rhyme helps your child learn that words are made up of smaller parts. Draw you child’s attention to sounds that represent objects and animals.







Play listening games such as “I Spy” and “Simon Says”.










Emphasize rhyming and beginning sounds.








Sing songs and teach nursery rhymes. Songs have a different note for each syllable, which will help you child break down words.








Sing, rhyme and clap out the syllables of songs and chants.








Read aloud poems and books that have predictable sound patterns.






Make sound shakers with empty containers filled with beads, cut up straws, etc. Shake them as you chant or sing.







Model how to find words that rhyme and encourage children to play along.







Encourage children to invent their own poems and silly words that rhyme.








Recite tongue twisters.





What are some fun tongue twisters your child enjoys?

All people should know how to write English correctly and accurately for the reason that sometimes if the writers make use of poor grammar, there is a tendency that their writing turns out to be almost difficult to read. It is to the extent that their writing becomes incoherent. See more spanish grammar checker
