words And syllablesThe awareness and the skills to recognize and to manipulate the sounds in spoken words are important elements in the early elementary level when learning to read. This is called phonological awareness. Young children who are not aware of the individual sounds in spoken words often exhibit difficulties linking the sounds to the print to decode words using phonics when they begin to read. With direct instruction, children can learn to analyze the sounds within spoken words. Training of sound awareness needs to begin with words in sentences and with syllables. This introduces the sound boundaries of words.
