Phonemic Awareness Guide (+ bundled resources)
$6
Phonemic awareness has become one of the most talked-about, and most misunderstood, areas of early literacy. Teachers are trying to do the “right” thing…
…but are often left overwhelmed by routines, programs, and conflicting messages.
This resource was created to simplify phonemic awareness and refocus instruction on what actually helps kids read.
Inside, you’ll find:
A 2-page quick-reference flyer that clearly explains phonemic awareness and how it fits into reading instruction
Direct links to 4 aligned phonemic awareness resources, creating a curated library of 200+ pages of instructional support
A virtual sound game / mini-lesson for teaching students to segment 2–3 sound words
(4-sound words coming soon!)
Word Mapping CVC Cards (printable, non-fiction images): Say it, Tap it, Pop it, Write it!
(Perfect for use with pop-its)
Mapping Board: Tap it, Map it, Say it, Zap it
(Great with magnetic wands and chips)
A Word Chain template: a meaningful alternative to oral-only phonemic awareness
Ongoing access to my growing Phonemic Awareness Google Drive folder
This is a starting point and a support system for teachers and coaches who want clarity instead of confusion, purposeful instruction instead of endless activities, confidence in why they’re teaching phonemic awareness, not just how
Perfect for:
✔ Classroom teachers (K–2)
✔ Literacy coaches
✔ Interventionists
✔ Educators navigating evolving phonemic awareness research
If you’ve ever thought, “There has to be a clearer way to do this,” this resource is for you.
