One of the most common misconceptions I hear is that phonological awareness and phonemic awareness are the same thing. They aren’t. Think of phonological awareness as the umbrella. Under that umbrella are skills such as:
✔️ Rhyming
✔️ Alliteration
✔️ Sentence segmentation
✔️ Syllable awareness
✔️ Onset-rime awareness
✔️ Phonemic awareness
Phonemic awareness is the most advanced level because it requires students to identify, blend, segment, and manipulate the individual phonemes (speech sounds) in words.

The more children can build a relationship with these in aspects nature, the more they can embody that dynamic expression of both strength and softness. Yes, it is possible to walk in this way! ~ xo Nicolette Sowder
