awareness of speech sounds, such as rhyming, alliteration, the number of words in a sentence,
and the syllables within words, as well as more advanced levels of awareness such as onset-rime
awareness and full phonemic awareness.
Why is phonological awareness important? correct answers It is critical in reading any alphabetic
writing system.
reading and spelling skills correct answers Phonological awareness involves a continuum of
skills that develop over time and that are crucial for _________, because they are central to
learning to decode and spell printed words
Syllable Skills (least complex) correct answers Counting syllables

Identifying first, last, and middle syllables
Blending syllables (adding, deleting, substituting)
