Phonemic Awareness
Phonemic awareness is the awareness of phonemes that make up spoken words. Developing phonemic awareness is critical for emergent readers. These games allow students to practice manipulating sounds in spoken words. These games need a teacher or group leader to say the questions, since the students do not read any written words in these games.
