Phonemic Awareness Games for Emergent Readers

The Sound Play Binder includes teacher’s guide, black line masters and five sets of cards to use with the lessons.

Sound Play has six Modules of Instruction. Each Module’s lessons feature developmentally appropriate activities that are fun and engaging. Progress monitoring for each Module is provided so that teachers can be confident that students are successful before moving to the next area of instruction.

Sound Play’s Modules are sequenced in the following ways:
• Module 1 – Isolating Beginning Sounds first with continuous consonant sounds, then with clipped consonant sounds
• Module 2 – Isolating Ending Sounds first with continuous consonant sounds, then with clipped consonant sounds
• Module 3 – Segmenting Sounds in two-phoneme words and then in three-phoneme words. Before segmenting sounds in CVC words, students practice isolating medial vowel sounds.
• Module 4 – Blending Sounds in two-phoneme and then in three-phoneme words.
• Module 5 – Reading VC and CVC words using one-breath blending
• Module 6 – Adding, Removing and Substituting Phonemes (advanced Phonemic Awareness)
