Describe the difference between phonological awareness, phonemic awareness, and phonics. In what sequence do young children typically acquire these skills? What does this sequence suggest about classroom instructional strategies?
What will be an ideal response?
• Phonological awareness: the awareness of the sound structure of oral language
• Phonemic awareness: the awareness that spoken words are composed of individual sounds or phonemes
• Phonics: the relationship between sounds and letters in written language
The instructional sequence now recommended by research is to begin by helping children build the basic concepts of phonological awareness, then move toward helping children develop awareness that words are composed of phonemes, and finally help children develop awareness of letter–sound associations.
