What assessments would you use to assess phonological awareness?
The DIBELS Phoneme Segmentation Fluency (PSF) measure is a standardized, individually administered test of phonological awareness. The PSF measure assesses a student’s ability to segment three- and four-phoneme words into their individual phonemes fluently.
What activities support phonological awareness?
Parents and caregivers can introduce phonological awareness during reading, singing, or play activities. Kids who struggle with these kinds of activities may be showing early signs of reading issues.
How do you scaffold phonemic awareness?
For intense scaffolding, teachers isolate and emphasize the beginning pho- neme in isolation and say the word with the phoneme exaggerated (being sure not to distort the sound). Teachers remind children to watch their mouths as they say the sound.
