Phonological Awareness


Even though many of our Ninth Agers are confident readers, it is always helpful to do some work with phonological awareness. Here is one short activity I will be doing with my reading group tomorrow to practice manipulating phonemes.
Say cub . . . Now change the /u/ to /a/ . . . Say the new word . . .
Say cart . . . Now change the /ar/ to /ī/ . . . Say the new word . . .
Say bell . . . Now change the /e/ to /aw/ . . . Say the new word . . .
Say pin . . . Now change the /i/ to /e/ . . . Say the new word . . .
Say bike . . . Now change the /ī/ to /ā/ . . . Say the new word . . .
Say chalk . . . Now change the /aw/ to /e/ . . . Say the new word . . .
Say bat . . . Now change the /a/ to /ē/ . . . Say the new word . . .
Say moon . . . Now change the /ōō/ to /a/ . . . Say the new word . . .
Say phone . . . Now change the /ō/ to /i/ . . . Say the new word . . .
