This resource contains (more advanced) exercises and activities around phonemes. It’s meant as a final test to the first two resources in phoneme awareness, which are Phantasy Phonics and Phonemic Phun. Now that an Apprentice has seen all of the phonemes, they are ready for test challenges!
Because it’s one thing to just recognize the different phonemes in a word. It’s another to completely change words by purposely adding or deleting sounds.
This also encourages an intuitive Eureka moment in many children: the fact that different words are usually just one sound away from each other. (Say “delete CH from CHAIR” and they suddenly realize you get a new word “AIR”) This is a nice feeling that leads into the idea that all words might be constructed from the same tiny pieces … called the alphabet.
Finally, this resource uses our Pre-Reader Prompt Cards to play some fun little games around phonemes!
