Phonological awareness (PA) is a crucial skill that underpins speech, vocabulary and literacy. Early syllable level stages of PA acquisition are required before children can progress to phoneme level skills (and phonics). Children who have difficulty acquiring PA skills will always have difficulty unless given help. It is never too late for children to learn PA skills. Children with good PA skills will have better vocabulary skills and learn to read more easily. Find out how to quickly assess PA skills and accurately target effective teaching activities so that children are primed for learning phonics.
