Why Phonemic Awareness and Phonemic Proficiency Are Necessary for All Readers

Phonemic awareness, or the ability of students to hear, identify and manipulate the sounds or individual phonemes in the English language, is one of the strongest, if not the strongest, predictor of students’ reading ability.

In this on-demand webinar from the CORE, Inc., Dr. David Kilpatrick, author of Essentials of Assessing, Preventing, and Overcoming Reading Difficulties, dives deep into phonemic awareness research to explain why building students’ phonemic awareness through various phonemic awareness strategies is so critical to effectively teaching all students to read, from those who struggle to those who learn to read more easily.
