Phonological Awareness Skills Sequence
Phonological Awareness includes a series of skills, ranging from easy to difficult.
The main components include:
1. Concept of Spoken Word (sentence segmentation)
•The ability to distinguish words in a sentence
Example: I like apples. (three words)
2. Rhyme
•The ability to recognize rhyme, complete rhyme, and produce rhyme
Examples: Does pick rhyme with stick?
Complete this rhyme: Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great ____.

3. Syllables
•The ability to blend, segment, and delete syllables
Examples: Foot-ball together says football
Clap the parts in rainbow. (two claps)
Say out side without side. (out)
4. Phonemes
•The ability to recognize initial and final sounds in words
Examples: What is the first sound in the word dot? /d/
What is the last sound in the word sun? /s/
•The ability to blend onset and rime
Example: You know can, what is this word? m /an/
•The ability to blend, segment, and delete phonemes
Examples: /p/ /i/ /g/. What is this word? pig
What are the individual sounds in pot? /p/ /o/ /t/
Say take without the /t/. (ake)

•One letter, two letters
•Difference between letters and words
•First/last word on a page
•First/last letter in a word
•Capital/lowercase letters
•Period/Question mark
•One to One matching when reading
•Using picture support
Common Core Standards
•Nation-wide incentive for all students to graduate high school
college and career ready.
•Building knowledge through content-rich non fiction and
fiction texts
•Reading and writing is grounded in evidence from text.
•Regular practice with complex text and academic vocabulary.
•Increased rigor and grade level expectations/benchmarks
mClass Literacy Assessments
DIBELS: Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy
DIBELS First Sound Fluency (FSF)
Hearing and using sounds in spoken words, measured by:
Can your child...
...identify the first sound in moon? (mmm)
...identify the middle sound in rain? (ay)
...identify the last sound in fish? (shhh)
DIBELS Letter Naming Fluency (LNF)
Recognizing letters of the alphabet by name
DIBELS Phoneme Segmentation Fluency (PSF)
Knowing sounds of letters and sounding out written words
We will start measuring phonics in the middle of
kindergarten.
TEXT READING AND COMPREHENSION (TRC).
Reading for comprehension, the ultimate goal of reading, is
measured by Text Reading and Comprehension (TRC).
Print Concepts (PC)
Reading Behaviors (RB)
Instructional reading level (TRC) is determined by oral reading and
oral and written comprehension
mClass Home Connect Letters
Reading At Home
Reading Aloud
(You read to your child.)
Rereading
(Your child reads to you.)
Reading Together
(You and your child read together.)
Students who spend
time reading at home
do better in school.
The more students
read, the better
readers they become.
