What are the 5 Pillars of Literacy? Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Fluency, Vocabulary, Comprehension (PPFVC).
Phonemic Awareness Ability to hear and manipulate individual sounds in spoken words (NO PRINT).
Phonics Connecting letters to sounds to read and spell words (PRINT + SOUND).
Fluency Reading with accuracy, appropriate rate, and expression (prosody).
Vocabulary Knowledge of word meanings.
Comprehension Understanding and making meaning from text.
Phonology The sound system of a language.
Phoneme The smallest unit of sound in a spoken word.
Grapheme A letter or group of letters representing a sound (e.g., sh).
Phonemic Awareness vs. Phonics PA is sounds without print; Phonics is letters combined with sounds.
Phonemic Blending Putting sounds together to make a word (e.g., /c/ /a/ /t/ → cat).
Phonemic Segmenting Breaking a word into individual sounds (e.g., cat → /c/ /a/ /t/).
Phoneme Isolation Identifying one specific sound in a word (e.g., first sound in sun = /s/).
Phoneme Substitution Changing one sound to make a new word (e.g., cat → hat).
Phoneme Deletion Removing a sound from a word (e.g., smile without /s/ → mile).
Decoding Using letter-sound knowledge to read words.
