Importance of Phonemic Awareness Skills

Overall, the development of phonemic awareness skills continue to lag behind language comprehension in the statewide ECBG data. By the end of the 2018-2019 evaluation year, only 40% of children assessed with the myIGDIs Literacy+ were on track in phonemic awareness. This document provides a brief summary of the evidence of the importance of phonemic awareness and provide resources for improving this skill in PreK aged children.
