Phonological Awareness deals with larger sound units —from the initial “b” in “bat” to its ending “at.” It helps children acquire concrete association with each word in a sentence; this association will make them less likely to eliminate words and articles from sentences when they begin to write. Viewers of this tape learn to lead large and small motor activities that deepen awareness of rhymes and compound words.
