Phonemic
Awareness
Phonemic awareness is
the ability to recognize
and manipulate sounds
in spoken words by
orally blending,
segmenting, adding,
and deleting them.
This is one of the five
components of reading.
One activity that we
will be doing in class, in
order to practice
phonemic awareness,
is using syllable cards.
These cards have a
word and picture at the
top, and numbers one
through four on the
bottom. The students
have to say the word
and clap out the
syllables, and then put
a clothes pin on the
number of syllables at
the bottom of the card.
Here is a link of an
interactive website with
a syllable game that
you can do at home:

Vocabulary
Vocabulary is the
understanding of word
meanings and how words
are used in text. This is
one of the five reading
components.
One activity that we will be
doing in class, in order to
practice vocabulary, is
doing activity worksheets
that help students become
familiar with sight words.
Depending on the
worksheet, there are
different sight words and
different tasks that the
student is asked to do.
Here is an interactive
website with a sight word
game that you can do at
