+===== Definition =====
 Phonemic awareness is the ability to recognize and manipulate the smallest units of sound, a phoneme. It is an awareness that language is made up of sounds that can be broken down  into parts. The ability to blend, segment, and manipulate sounds indicates a learner as phonemic awareness.

 Learners need Phonemic awareness as a precursor to read and phonemic awareness awareness develops from learning to read. It helps students to recognize the [[alphabetic principle]], recognize common [[phonics]] patterns, blend sounds to read, and segment sounds to help [[spelling]].

-Blending-Taking sounds and smahing them together such as /k/ /a/ /t/ "cat." Readers master this skill typically by kindergarten.

 You begin phonemic awareness with single letter sounds and then progress to blends and digraphs.

-=== Research ====
+===== Research ======
 Phonemic awareness is one of the strongest predictors of later achievement in reading (Stanovic, 1993). We do know that instruction can increase phonemic awareness (Adams, 1990). Some research has shown this instruction will improve reading and writing instruction (Stuart, 1999).
-=== In the Classroom ===
+===== In the Classroom =====
 Phonemic Awareness instruction takes no more than ten minutes a day. If Kindergarten readiness shows a lack of phonological awareness, ten minutes a day for 3-4 for days a week over 10 weeks will usually suffice.You can identify atypical development around processing, speech and hearing, or having a home environemnt not steeped in literacy.

 Smash and stretch words and phonemes. Show students how you can count phonemes in words by stretching them out,. Then smash the words together.
