Phonological Awareness

       and Reading Skills

What is phonological awareness?   Phonological awareness is the awareness of the sounds of speech that prepares a child to match speech sounds to its written alphabetic symbol.  Phonological awareness is a precursor to developing strong reading and writing skills.

 

Treatment

             - Treatment may consist of direct teaching of the letter-sound relationship

               using various techniques including rhyming, alliteration, and sound play. 

               Therapy sessions may include word games, flash card drill, and listening

               activities using a variety of materials including the child’s own school work (if

               available).  Activities and strategies will be provided for home practice.
