Phonemes

The smallest parts of spoken language that combine to form words. For example, the word hit is made up of three phonemes (h / I / t ) and differs by one phoneme from the words “pit”, “hip” and “hot”

Phonological awareness

The understanding that spoken language is made up of a sequence of individual and separate sounds. In addition to phonemes, phonological awareness activities involves working with rimes, words, sentences and syllables.

Stages of phonological development, involves the recognition that:

•Sentences are made up of words •Words can rhyme •Words can be broken into syllables •Words can be broken into onsets and rhymes •Words cab have the same medial sounds •Words can be broken into individual phonemes •Sounds can be changed to form new words

Onsets and rimes

The onset of a syllable is its initial consonant(s), and the rime is its vowel and any subsequent consonants in the syllable. Thus, in the syllables sip-ship, the onsets are s and sh and the common rime is ip

Children who has acquired phonemic awareness are able to:

Hear rhymes and onsets Blend sounds to make words Count the number of sounds (phonemes) in a word Identify the initial, middle and ending sounds Substitute one phoneme for another Delete phonemes from a word to form a new word
