Abstract
Phonological and phonemic awareness are essential skills for early literacy success, providing a strong foundation for decoding, encoding, and fluent reading. Research shows that students with strong phonological and phonemic awareness skills are better equipped to develop reading proficiency, while those who struggle with those skills may face long-term reading challenges. This presentation will provide an overview of these essential skills, highlighting their role in reading acquisition. The presentation will also outline evidence-based strategies and classroom activities, such as Elkonin Boxes, sound chips, and online blending boards, to strengthen students' phonological and phonemic awareness skills. Additionally, we will discuss formal and informal phonological and phonemic awareness assessment tools and how that data can be used to inform instruction. Integrating these foundational skills into daily instruction can help students develop strong literacy foundations that contribute to long-term academic success.

Developing Phonological and Phonemic Awareness Skills in Young Students
Phonological and phonemic awareness are essential skills for early literacy success, providing a strong foundation for decoding, encoding, and fluent reading.

This presentation will provide an overview of these essential skills, highlighting their role in reading acquisition. The presentation will also outline evidence-based strategies and classroom activities, such as Elkonin Boxes, sound chips, and online blending boards, to strengthen students' phonological and phonemic awareness skills.
