Phonological awareness is the ability to recognize and manipulate the spoken parts of words, including syllables, onset–rime, and phonemes. Phonemic awareness is the ability to identify and manipulate individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken words.

Here are some clues for parents that a child may have problems with phonological or phonemic awareness: She has difficulty thinking of rhyming. words for a simple word like cat (such as rat or bat). She doesn't show interest in language play, word games, or rhyming.

Skill 1: Onset Fluency: Isolate the Initial Phoneme Teacher says the word and the student says the first sound. Write the sound the child says. Write an x or + if the student responds correctly. If the student responds incorrectly, record the incorrect response. Answers provided.

The PAT-2:NU is a standardized assessment of phonological awareness, phoneme-grapheme correspondence, and phonemic decoding skills. Test results help educators focus on those aspects of oral language that may not be systematically targeted in classroom reading instruction.

The Phonological Awareness Screening Test (PAST) assesses skills in phonemic awareness. It is one component that should be considered along with the information from the screening assessment it is being used with. The PAST is a free resource.

Children can demonstrate phonemic awareness in several ways, including: recognizing which words in a set of words begin with the same sound. ... isolating and saying the first or last sound in a word. ... combining, or blending the separate sounds in a word to say the word. ... breaking, or segmenting a word into its separate sounds.

A unique feature of the PAST is the examiner provides corrective feedback for every incorrect item. Feedback on the PAST is based on the assumption that a student is not going to develop phonological awareness skills in the 6-8 minutes it takes to administer this test. Give feedback for every incorrect response.

Phonemic Awareness skills can be assessed using standardized measures. The Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) assessment system provides two measures that can be used to assess phonemic segmentation skills, Initial Sounds Fluency (ISF) and Phonemic Segmentation Fluency (PSF).
