Phonological awareness and pre-literacy skills are crucial for young children who are beginning their academic careers. These skills help children learn how to read and write words, as well as how to recognize letters and sounds. However, with so many options for early education, it can be hard for parents to know where to turn. At Concierge Speech Services of Atlanta, we believe that the best option is a program that incorporates both literacy and phonological awareness techniques. Children who have strong phonological awareness often perform better academically than those who do not have this knowledge, which can lead them down a path of lifelong success.
Phonological awareness is a vital skill that helps children develop the ability to recognize, manipulate, and produce speech sounds. This skill is critical in helping children learn how to read, write, and spell. It also helps them understand language more fully by focusing on the sounds of words and how they relate to one another. Children who have difficulty forming words may struggle with learning words as well as reading and writing skills later on in life. It is important for parents and teachers alike to help children develop this important skill early on so that they can build upon it as they grow older.
Pre-literacy skills are the building blocks to learning how to read and write. These skills include phonological awareness and letter knowledge, as well as the ability to recognize words and understand their meaning. These skills are important because they help children learn how to listen and pay attention, develop strategies for solving problems, and make connections between different types of words. By learning these foundational skills in early childhood, they will have a better understanding of reading and writing, and will likely have an easier time learning other subjects such as math and science later in life.
When developing phonological awareness in early childhood, it’s important to remain focused on the right targets. The development of the following goals is essential to success in pre-literacy:
While some children develop these skills naturally over time, others may need extra help to catch up with their peers. If your child is struggling with any of these skills, it's important that you seek out a qualified speech pathologist who can evaluate them and provide services accordingly.
