Phonological awareness involves recognizing and manipulating the sound structures of spoken language, such as phonemes, syllables, and rhymes.
Phonemic awareness is the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken words.
A consonant blend is a group of two or more consonants where each consonant sound is heard, as in the "fr" in "frog."
Word segmentation involves breaking down a word into its component parts, which can include recognizing compound words like "sunshine."
Rhyming games help children recognize and produce rhyming words, which is a key aspect of phonological awareness.
