Description: Phonological awareness has been well established as a reliable predictor in the ability to successfully learn to read. Word Manipulation, the ability to easily modify and move sounds or syllables in a word, is an essential component of phonological awareness for both reading and spelling. Manipulating words contributes to an understanding of how sounds and syllables work together within words, the learning of spelling patterns and an awareness or familiarity of words in general. Change this Word – Initial Sound Substitution is designed to increase the ability to remove a phoneme from a word and substitute another phoneme to form a different word. Students read or listen to a given word then follow the directions to delete and substitute the initial phoneme or phonemes. Students write then read the new words.
