Phonological and phonemic awareness lesson activities Instructions for teachers are included in the ‘notes’ section under each slide.<br>
02
Required background knowledge Notes for teachers This slide pack includes activities aligned with the steps of the phonological awareness continuum. In the continuum each step represents a unique skill; and each step increases in complexity.
The focus skill for each activity is noted on the bottom left of each slide. To identify your students’ phonological awareness needs, consider using these free tools:

How to use this presentation Notes for teachers The activities in these slides can be used for any students still developing phonological and phonemic awareness skills.
Phonological awareness screeners can be used to assess students’ areas of need (see Slide 2). Once you have that information, choose activities in this pack to match your students’ areas of need.
The presentation includes two or more activities per skill. Phonological and phonemic awareness sessions should focus on 1-2 skills per session.
Use these slides before phonics instruction to cue students into sounds in words.
Some activities can be run on a large screen or whiteboard, some can be printed as worksheets, some are physical activities. See the teacher steps below each slide for guidance on how to run each activity.
Some slides are animated; use presentation mode and click to make the next picture appear.
Some activities suggest teachers check for understanding through the ‘chin it’ technique: all students write their response on mini-whiteboards or paper or equivalent. Students hold their response under their chin to show the teacher, allowing for immediate feedback.
Some activities within the phonemic awareness section include a phonics element. Ensure students have been explicitly introduced to graphemes included in the activity.<br>
