Role of Phonological Awareness in Becoming a Reader

Dr. Esmeralda Carini & Erin D'Amelio Season 1 Episode 4

In this episode, we are chatting with an esteemed colleague, literacy peep, and friend, David Yung, from Waimanalo Elementary. We will explore the role that phonological awareness plays in early literacy and language development. 

David breaks down PA to the parts that make up this subskill and why they matter when learning how to read. He also gives practical tips on how to provide opportunities to develop this critical skill at home and in the classroom to support later literacy achievement in elementary.
