SOUND AWARENESS

The ability to identify initial/final phonemes heard in words (no print) is a precursor to the skilled application of phonics for reading and spelling.

Skill Development Activities (No Print) Initial Sounds should be developed first, followed by final sounds. Many activities can be used for both initial AND final sounds with simple changes.
