To develop this ability, students must be able to identify the following: individual sounds (phonemes) in words; print letters of the alphabet; and corresponding sounds for each letter.  \nThe companion guide on which this summary document is based assists teachers in informing and supporting families to help children develop phonological awareness and letter–sound relations.  \n\n| \u003Cbr>How to carry out the\u003Cbr>recommendation\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Potential roadblocks |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1.

Teach students to recognize and manipulate segments of sounds in speech.  \nRecognizing the sounds in words is important in children’s development of reading. Teachers can explain how families can support children in discovering the sounds that various letters and groups of letters represent. Parents and caregivers can use singing, rhyming, and nonsense words to encourage children to see the connections between sounds and letters.  \nTeachers can stress that children need to strengthen their spoken language skills before linking sounds to letters. Parents and caregivers can also call attention to the first sound in a word and to word families, such as man, pan, and can.  \nPhonological awareness: syllables  \nTeachers and families can make up nonsense sentences using words that begin with the same sound: “Mary Martin made more music making machines!” It is also important to highlight the different types of sounds found in words. One skill that children need to develop is separating words into syllables. For example, telephone has three parts or syllables: tel-ephone. Being able break words apart and identify syllables will help children learn to read or spell the words.  \nVideos to support Step 1 – Phonological awareness: syllables  \n\n| Video Title (Book Title in Parentheses) | Link |\n| --- | --- |\n| 2.1 Syllable Sort | [https://youtu.be/pcTDCoR-Ns](https://youtu.be/pcTDCoR-NsY)[Y](https://youtu.be/pcTDCoR-NsY) |\n| 2.1 Read Aloud and Syllable Practice (Silly Sally) | [https://youtu.be/n1C4L8y95kM](https://youtu.be/n1C4L8y95kM) |\n\nNote: Adapted frompage K|2|4 of the guide referenced on the first page of this document.  \nPrintable family resources are available on pages K|2|5–K|2|6 of the guide referenced on the first page of this document.  \nPhonological awareness: rhyme  ","cbCaicRMmSbyYLGQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicRMmSbyYLGQ","pdf",173626,"English","# How to carry out the recommendation\n## Potential roadblocks\n## Teacher scaffolds for steps\n### Teach students to recognize and manipulate segments of sounds in speech\n### Phonological awareness: syllables\n### Phonological awareness: rhyme\n## Summary of Recommendation 2\n## Phonemic awareness","[{\"question\":\"What should students learn in Recommendation 2 to support early reading?\",\"answer\":\"Students should learn to recognize and manipulate segments of sounds in speech, develop letter–sound relations, and use word-building activities to connect phonemic awareness with letter knowledge.\"},{\"question\":\"How can families support phonological awareness at home?\",\"answer\":\"Families can use singing, rhyming, and nonsense words to help children notice connections between sounds and letters, and can highlight the first sounds and word families.\"},{\"question\":\"What barriers might limit family participation in these activities?\",\"answer\":\"Barriers include families not attending school events, feeling uncomfortable, lacking time to engage with children, and having limited access to the internet.\"}]","Recommendation 2 - How to carry out the recommendation | PDF",1792055104]
