In this session, we will explore the essential components of phonological awareness and letter knowledge, two critical skills that intersect to enable a child to effectively read and write. Together, we’ll focus on paving the path for these foundational skills through a deep dive into:

• Letter Sound Articulation: Understanding how to accurately pronounce and effectively teach letter sounds.
• Iconicity: Discovering how letters and sounds connect to meaningful concepts, enhancing comprehension and retention.
• Movement: Integrating physical activity to strengthen memory and support multisensory learning.

We’ll also break down the various levels of phonological awareness, providing you with a clear, step-by-step strategy to help children develop these skills. By the end of the session, you’ll leave with a practical plan and the confidence to teach phonological awareness and letter knowledge effectively, setting your students up for lifelong literacy success.
