Discussion proper by Maria Paz B. Sinamban, T-1

The speaker discussed about the phonemic awarenes means the ability to hear and
manipulate the sounds in spoken words are made of individual sounds called phonemes.
It is essential to learning to read in alphabetic writing system, because letters represent
sounds or phonemes. Without phonemic awareness, phonics makes little sense. To give

the example of sounding by each letters the speaker called the other teachers to sounding
out in front reciting from A-Z. She discussed also the importance of phonemic awareness
that it gives readers a way to approach sounding out and reading new words. It helps also
readers understand the alphabetic principle (that the letters in words are systematically
represented by sounds).

She presented also the different strategies of teaching phonemic awareness.

1. Phoneme Isolation means identify the specific phonemes in words first, middle and last
sound. It is a task can be done in conjunction with phoneme segmentation tasks.
Example, the word “sat” What is the sound of first letter sat?” the correct answer is /s/.

2. Phoneme Identification this deals with identifying the same sounds in different words.
For example, you can ask a pupil what is the common sound in the words: cat, camp,
and cup. The answer is the /c/ sound.

3. Phoneme Categorization in this strategy, the teacher compiles a small sequence of

similar words and ask students to identify the words that has different sound
compared to the rest of the words.

4. Phoneme Blending means ability to hear the individual sounds in a word, put the
sounds together, and say the word that is made. Example these sounds may be said to
a student /sss/, /sss/, /d/- and the student will say the word “sand”

5. Phoneme Segmentation means ability to break words down into individual sounds.
For example, a child may break the word “sand” into its component sounds /sss/,
/aaa/, /nnn/ and /d/. It is important in essential in developing reading and spelling
skills.

6. Phoneme Manipulation is playing around the sounds in a word to make a new word.
For example, the teacher may say a word “pot” and then ask the students to change the
/p/ to /h/ to create a new word.

7. Phoneme Addition- ability to hear and identify the smallest units of sounds. So what we
are doing here is simply adding in extra sounds to words or removing existing sounds
from words.

8. Phoneme Substitution refers to the ability to replace a phoneme in a word with another
phoneme to form a new word. This is a very important step in development of literacy,
as well as general language development.

At the end of discussion teachers given a task during breakaway session.
