Phonics Awareness

Phonics Awareness is a comprehensive, low cost educational app based on the pre-reading skills 1st graders must have as they move from hearing sounds, into seeing the letter as a representation for the sound. This is the beginning of true phonics learning. Teachers can easily integrate these lessons into their lesson prep in the Common Core. All instructions are given verbally, and students receive immediate feedback, thereby helping students to achieve grade level.

The Common Core Foundational Skills 1st Grade states:

Demonstrate understanding of spoken words, syllables, and sounds

(phonemes).

a. Distinguish long from short vowel sounds in spoken single-syllable words.

b. Orally produce single-syllable words by blending sounds (phonemes),

including consonant blends.

c. Isolate and pronounce initial, medial vowel, and final sounds (phonemes) in

spoken single-syllable words.

d. Segment spoken single-syllable words into their complete sequence of

individual sounds (phonemes).

All of these foundational skills are covered in this Phonics Awareness app, making it very usable in any first grade school core program. Over 400,000 people agree. Phonics Awareness is an app any teacher or parent can trust! The check yourself section allows the parent or teacher to see the child’s progress on these skills, allowing them to catch up or keep up with their peers. Using this section as a pretest will target the student’s individual needs.
