3. DEFINITION
● Kilpatrick (2015), phonological awareness is the ability to attend to and manipulate
the sounds of language. This includes the ability to segment words into their
individual sounds (phonemes), blend sounds together to form words, and manipulate
sounds within words (such as substituting one sound for another).
● Catherine Snow (2022)In her book "Reading for Understanding: Toward an R&D
Program in Reading Comprehension," she defines phonological awareness as "the
ability to detect, manipulate, or analyze the sound structures of words independent of
their meanings."
● Isabel Beck (2013) phonological awareness as "the ability to identify and manipulate
the sounds of language in spoken words."
● Phonological awareness is strongly linked to early reading and spelling success
through its association with phonics (Moats, 2019).
4. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PHONOLOGICAL
AWARENESS AND PHONEMIC AWARENESS
Phonological awareness is an umbrella concept that
contains phonics, and phonemic awareness.
Phonemic awareness is the ability to understand the
“phonemes”- the smallest unit of sound that words
make.

8. HOW PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS
DEVELOPS
• Early phonological skills include awareness of syllables and onset-rime segments.
• Advanced phonemic awareness includes the ability to manipulate phonemes by
substituting, reversing, and deleting phonemes and continues to develop into third
grade and beyond.
• Phonological and phonemic awareness practice activities can be brief, engaging, and
woven into whole-group and small-group instruction based upon students' needs.
10. Digital literacy is the ability and
skill to find, evaluate, utilise, share,
and create content using information
