This book was recommended to me by my sister (also a k teacher), and I used these phonemic awareness activities during the last school year -- not only did the activities help my whole class overall, but they also helped me identify which kids were struggling and needed more help. And they were fun for the kids, too, which made teaching it so much easier. My school has been buzzing about phonemic awareness and phonological awareness for a couple of years now, but we haven't had a good way to actually teach it directly until we used these activities. I highly recommend this book!

Excellent source of developmentally appropriate activities to make phonemic awareness fun. It has activities laid out for each separate area. It should be in the hands of all preK, K and grade 1 teachers, reading teachers, and special educators at even higher levels. A treasure!

If you are teaching kindergarten through second grade, you must have this and use it in your classroom. It has activities that covers every area of phonemic awareness. It gives you many activities for each section so your children will never get bored with your lessons. Uses all modalities. I can't say enough good things about this book.

I am a new teacher and I am trying to build up a library of resources. I bought this book hoping it would be helpful. I am so glad I purchased it. The activities are simple and concise, but they were developed with the children in mind. They will enrich your higher kids and strengthen your lower readers. Great for Kindergarten to intro basic phonics, super for first grade!! They will be fun to use in the classroom. The book is also FULL of information about phonics and linguistics. Do not hesitate purchasing this book.

This is a great book to use with prek students as well as kindergarten and first graders. The lesson plans are there to use as is or to be modified to fit the needs of your students.

I have found this book wonderful. It brings us tools to teach phonemic awareness to children that are struggling readers. It has a lot of activities they like and step by step are taking them to the beautiful world readers have.
This book is a must for every teacher!

I purchased this book on the recommendation of an Orton-Gillingham class I took. It has been a great resource for the beginning readers I tutor. The activities are fun and take very little prep for the teacher. I recommend this book for anyone looking to boost phonemic awareness, a critical skill for reading!

The lesson plans are all right there to get started teaching phonemic awareness in a classroom or small group. Sections are divided up into specific skills. The research included in the book makes it easy to explain to parents why these are improtant skills to teach. Includes a material list and assessments as well. A "must have" for pre-kindergarten through first grade teachers.

As a parent I needed something to assist my child and found this book to be great.

It is setup for class room setting but with a little improvision here and there works great.

bought this for my daughter-in-law for her speech pathology degree. It was suggested by her instructors.
It came in a timely manner, no complaints
