The ability to hear and manipulate sounds in words is a very important and foundational skill to have. Students who have difficulty with this skill or who don't have practice enough practice can have difficulty with reading and spelling in the future.
Here are is list of activities you can do using the mat below to practice/play with phonemic awareness
- parent says a three letter or sound word; (mat), child should touch each box and say the sounds the correlating sound (/m/ /a/ /t/).
- Parent says a word and child isolates the beginning, middle, or ending sound.
- Do the above activity and have the child say the word without the first sound. (mat) The child says (at).
- Building words. Have your child build a three sound word (hot). Say the sounds by touching the blocks then add the letters that correlate with those sounds. Parent "take the word hot and change it to not". (do not move the letters from the mat, say the sounds of the new word and have your child try to figure out which sound changes).
- Building words-manipulate the first and last sounds as well.
Using letter tiles children can manipulate the sounds to make new words.
