Phonemic Awareness

Phonemic awareness is an important part of literacy development. Since I am a Deaf Education major i have seen it's importance many times. Deaf and Hard of Hearing children that have low phonemic awareness have problems distinguishing between different words.
It is an important skill that can be very boring to learn. I loved the ideas of singing and reciting poetry.

  1. What kind of ways would you help specifically deaf and hard of hearing students learn phonemic awareness? Are there other classroom strategies you would use building off those we read about? That's a really interesting subject I think...

  2. I agree that teaching and learning phonics can be boring. It's up to us as teachers to really try and make it a more engaging task.
