Objectives
• To reflect on current practice
• To become familiar with the key components of phonological awareness and their impact on literacy development
• To explore various assessment tools
• To engage in practical activities promoting phonological awareness
ww
w.p
dst
.ie
Key Messages
• Phonological Awareness is a key component of early reading acquisition
• It enables the child to reflect on and manipulate the sound patterns of words
• It encompasses a range of skills, including awareness of words, rhyme, syllables, onset -rime and individual sounds within words
ww
w.p
dst
.ie
Phonological Awareness
• phonological Awareness is an aural and oral skill
• this clearly distinguishes ‘phonological awareness’from ‘phonics’, since the starting point for phonological awareness is the sounds that we hear, rather than the letters on a page

Phonology The sound system of language.
Phonological Awareness The ability to recognise that speech is made up of sentences. Sentences can be broken into words, words into syllables and then onset – rime.
Phoneme Smallest unit of sound in a word (the sound produced by a letter or letter group).
Phonemic awareness An awareness of sounds in individual words. It is a sub-skill of Phonological Awareness.
Alphabetic principle The principle that explains how the sounds of speech
‘phonemes’ become associated with the alphabet .
Phonics A system for teaching reading by matching the sounds of speech with letters.
Alliteration Recognition or production of words with common initial sounds, e.g. “Dickory Dock”
Blending Combining sounds to form words.

Development of Phonological Awareness
ww
w.p

.ie
The child can orally/aurally…
• hear sounds in words
• think about them
• compare them
• separate them
• blend them together
• manipulate them

Phonemic Awareness: What is it?
An awareness of individual sounds in words, ranging from initial, to final to medial sounds.

• identify the initial sound in a word
• isolate the initial sound in a word
• blend separate sounds to form a word
• segment a word to isolate the individual sounds/phonemes (Armbruster et al., 2001).

Assessment
What assessment methods are you currently using in
your school for phonological awareness development?
ww
w.p
dst
.ie
(Assessment in the Primary School Curriculum, NCCA, 2007)
A broad range of assessment data
ww
w.p
dst
.ie
• emphasis on training in phonological awareness
• grapheme/phoneme linkage skills
• comprehensive and structured
• meets the needs of a wide range of abilities
• 10 minutes isolated phonological work
Sound Linkage (Peter Hatcher)
ww

Assessment
• Teacher observation
• Teacher–devised checklists, tests
• Phonological Awareness Test ‘Sound Linkage’ p.144
• PhAB Test (Phonological Awareness Battery)
• Aston Index – Sound Blending
• DIBELS material

Phonics: What is it?
It is the process whereby individual sounds (phonemes) are matched with their written
representations (graphemes).
ww
w.p
dst
.ie
It is more logical to teach awareness of the sound system and then anchor letter to it. Without phonological/phonemic awareness, children will not be able to benefit from work on phonics.
Moats (1998)
ww

.ie
“Phonological awareness is a prerequisite of phonics. If phonological awareness is not developed, phonic
instruction will be ineffective – without an awareness first and foremost of the sounds of the language, the children will have difficulty with the
symbols that represent those sounds”…….
Ní Mhurchú (1998, p.29)
ww
w.p
dst
.ie
The child can….
• link sounds to letters
• name and sound letters of the alphabet
• use phonic knowledge to write simple regular words
• make phonetically plausible attempts at more complex words
