      Tips for Reading Readiness 

      Phonemic awareness skills by age* (by Leslie Mata on Oct 15, 2020)

      3 yrs Nursery rhymes; hearing alliteration and identifying words that rhyme
      4 yrs Identifying and producing rhyming words; clapping syllables; segmenting sentences into words/counting the number of words in a sentence
      5 yrs Identifying words that do not rhyme within a group; blend together onsets and rimes followed by phoneme blending. Focus on blending at this level.
      6 yrs Blending sounds together to create words; segmenting sounds (beginning/middle/end) to identify parts of words (phoneme isolation)
      6–7 yrs Counting sounds in words; identifying individual sounds in a word (phoneme segmentation); begin to spell phonetically
      7–8 yrs Manipulating sounds within words (adding, deleting, and substituting beginning consonant sounds) to form new words
