Phonemic Awareness: In the Dark or With Print?

Phonemic Awareness Webinar

Join Marjorie Bottari, Director of Professional Development at Heggerty, as she addresses the tough question, should phonemic awareness be taught “in the dark” or only with print?

During this webinar, Marjorie will:

  • Discuss the importance of building a strong foundation in phonemic awareness for young learners and the important role it plays in supporting older learners that are still striving to become automatic decoders of print.
  • Provide examples of when and why phonemic awareness should be taught as an oral and auditory warm up to phonics instruction.
  • Illustrate the reciprocal relationship between phonemic awareness and phonics and how to support learners in seeing the connection between sounds and print.
This webinar is intended for educators who work with children in Pre-K through 2nd-grade classrooms, in whole group, small group, or 1:1 settings.
