Description: This set of cards targets the skill of manipulation in compounds words. The ability to hear and manipulate phonemes plays a causal role in the acquisition of beginning reading skills (Smith, Simmons, & Kame'enui, 1998). It is important to recognize the difference in sounds, but children need to understand that sounds are manipulative elements of our language. Hearing different sounds, knowing their positions and understanding the role they play within a word will help them read efficiently. Phonemic awareness is NOT phonics. Phonemic awareness is AUDITORY and does not involve words in print.
