Phonemic Awareness: In Depth Although phonemic awareness is a widely used term in reading, it is often misunderstood. One misunderstanding is that phonemic awareness and phonics are the same thing. Phonemic awareness is not phonics. Phonemic awareness is the understanding that the sounds of spoken language work together to make words. The reason is obvious: children who cannot hear and work with the phonemes of spoken words will have a difficult time learning how to relate these phonemes to letters when they see them in written words. Another misunderstanding about phonemic awareness is that it means the same as phonological awareness. Phonemic awareness is a subcategory of phonological awareness. The focus of phonological awareness is much broader. Effective phonemic awareness instruction teaches children to notice, think about, and work with (manipulate) sounds in spoken language. Phoneme isolation Children recognize individual sounds in a word. Teacher: What is the first sound in van? Phoneme identity

A Dove sitting on a tree overhanging the water plucked a leaf and let it fall into the stream close to her. The Ant climbed onto it and floated in safety to the bank.
